Indiana residents can enjoy a weekend of fishing without purchasing a license during Indiana's Free Fishing Weekend. On June 9-10, Indiana adults do not need a fishing license to fish on public waters. Children under the age of 17 do not need a license at any time. Many public properties will host Free Fishing Weekend events, such as fishing clinics, derbies and fish cleaning and cooking classes.
Some properties have pre-registration.
Call your favorite property for details. Some properties also have pre-registration, so call ahead. Although no license is needed during free fishing weekend, all other fishing regulations are still in effect. Individuals who need reasonable modifications for effective participation in Free Fishing Weekend events should contact the property at least 72 hours before the event.
