Wild Bulletin, Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fish and Wildlife: You won’t want to miss the IN DNR four Free Fishing Days of the new year. On May 7, June 3-4, and Sept. 23, come fish on the state’s public waters for free. During these days, Indiana residents need neither a fishing license nor a trout/salmon stamp to fish. All other rules such as seasons, bag, and size limits apply.

If you enjoyed the Free Fishing Days, please consider purchasing a fishing license so you can fish throughout the entire year (license year is April 1 to March 31 of the following year). License sales support research, habitat management, public access, fish stocking, and education programs.

To learn more about the Free Fishing Days, please visit the Catch the 2023 Free Fishing Days.
