The catch of the day is the new 2007 Indiana Recreation and Fishing Guide, a 72-page free booklet from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The guide summarizes Indiana fishing regulations, including license fees, possession limits, consumption advisories, and a county-by-county list of public access fishing locations in Indiana.

There is a two-page fish identification guide and maps that show locations of state parks, reservoirs, forests and fish and wildlife areas.

The annual guide is available at most DNR properties and where fishing licenses are sold. The new regulations are also posted on the Web at: http://www.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/ fish/fishng/fishgide.htm.
