Indiana’s first Free Fishing Day of the year is Sunday, May 12

INDIANA – Indiana’s first Free Fishing Day of the year is Sunday, May 12.

On Free Fishing Days, Indiana residents do not need a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish on the state’s public waters, so it’s the perfect time to bring your family and friends along and have some fun outdoors.

All other rules, such as seasons, bag, and size limits, apply.

Use the Where To Fish map to find a fishing location near you.

This interactive map includes information on public access sites, fish consumption advisories, and low-head dam locations in rivers and streams.

All access site locations are approximate; please ensure these sites are open to the public before launching.

For city stocking locations, visit Urban Fishing.
