This weekend is "Free Fishing Weekend" in Iowa, anglers don't need a license.
Julie Tack of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says there are hundreds of places to go fishing in Iowa, the fish are biting and the weather's great.
The DNR holds this annual event to promote fishing, through special events across the state.
Tack says they're also introducing #MissionFishin. They're encouraging those who love to fish to take someone along the next time they go out, and post a picture on social media, with the hashtag, #MissionFishin. The DNR is having a photo contest featuring pictures submitted.
The deadline for the photo contest is June 23rd.
The top three photos chosen will be featured in Iowa Outoors Magazine next spring.
