Your DNR - Fishing Programs, Fishing Derbys, Sand Castles
Every week or so, I check out our local DNR website to find out what is happening in the state of Indiana. Did you know you can find some great resources on things that are happening in your state on their local DNR website? For example, currently on the Indiana DNR website they are showing a video for “Wear It - Indiana”. It’s a video about wearing your life jacket when being on the water. It’s a good reminder.
They also have information about the 11th Annual Sand Sculpture contest being held at the Indiana Dunes State Park on July 12, 2008. What a fun way to spend a summer day. Whether you are 5 or 105, you can enter the contest or you can spend the day watching those that have entered. Visit the Indiana DNR website for more information.
Did you know if you’re a teacher in Illinois the IDNR will help you establish a fishing program in some counties? They can assist with education and equipment to make fishing a talked-about, popular activity at your school. Here is the link for fishing in your school. I had no idea something like this even existed.
I took a look at a couple of other states and they all seem to provide a ton of information for what’s happening in your state. Looking for something for your kids to do, a lot of states are currently holding kids fishing derby programs. If you’re not an Indiana resident but would like more information on your own state DNR website, you can find your state here.
Have a great day all!

The state DNR web sites can provide you with a lot of fun activities. They’re also a motherload of good information on regulations and laws.

Idaho’s Fish & Game website is one of the most helpful I’ve ever seen - it has a hunt planner, that if you fill out the dates and type of animal you want to hunt, it will give you location of all the areas that are open to that. Or you can just fill out dates and see if there is any hunting available at that time. Pretty useful!

Blessed, Our DNR always has updated information. The sand castle contest isn’t too far from my house and I would really like to go. I’ve never been.
Kristine, They are great for information, regulations and we always purchase our fishing licenses online and Marks hunting license.
Tom, that is nice for hunters.

Rhea, thanks for the visit. If it weren’t for my husband I wouldn’t know about this either. The DNR websites provide a lot information and fun activities that are going on around town.
