INDIANA – This year’s four Free Fishing Days are May 1, June 4–5, and Sept. 24.
Indiana residents do not need a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish in public waters on these days.
Free Fishing Days are a great opportunity to try fishing for the first time and to take the family and friends who are looking for a fun, safe, and rewarding outdoor activity.
Check the DNR Calendar for fishing events around the state during Free Fishing Days.
