Free Fishing Days April 21, May 19 and June 2-3

Last updated on Tuesday, April 3, 2018

(UNDATED) - The Department of Natural Resources says the Free Fishing Days this year are scheduled for April 21, May 19 and June 2-3.

Indiana residents do not need a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish the state's public waters on Free Fishing Days.

On all other days, only youth - age 17 and younger - and a few other special anglers are exempt from the license requirement.

If you enjoyed the Free Fishing Days, 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).

Fishing license cost $17. A trout stamp cost $11.

License sales fund fisheries management, maintain public access sites, and provide free sport fishing educational programs.
