DNR spotlights upcoming 'Free Fishing Days'

STATE OF INDIANA - The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds Hoosiers that "Free Fishing Days" opportunities are scheduled for June 6–7 and September 26.

On these days, Indiana residents may fish public waters without a fishing license or trout/salmon stamp. DNR wants to encourage participation in fishing while providing a convenient, low-barrier way for individuals and families to experience Indiana’s natural resources.   

While fishing license requirements are waived during these designated days, all other state fishing regulations remain in effect, including bag limits, size restrictions, and seasonal rules.   

Those who enjoy Free Fishing Days can extend their opportunities to participate by purchasing a 2026 annual fishing license, valid through March 31, 2027, at GoOutdoorsIN.com. The license means Hoosiers are contributing vital conservation funding to support fish stocking, habitat restoration, public fishing access, and more. 

Additional information, including fishing locations, regulations, and educational resources, is available on the Indiana DNR website at fishing.IN.gov.
