In 2024, Indiana offers several opportunities for anglers to enjoy fishing without needing a state fishing license.
Indiana Free Fishing Days 2024
The free fishing days in Indiana for 2024 are specifically designated dates when residents and non-residents can fish public waters throughout the state without possessing a valid Indiana fishing license. This initiative is designed to encourage more people to try fishing and enjoy the state's natural resources.
Here are the specific dates for Indiana's Free Fishing Days in 2024:
| Month | Date(s) |
|---|---|
| May | 12 |
| June | 1, 2 |
| September | 28 |
During these designated days, all other fishing regulations, such as bag limits, size limits, and gear restrictions, remain in effect. Anglers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with current regulations set by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to ensure a responsible and legal fishing experience.
These days provide a perfect chance for families, beginners, or those new to the state to experience the joys of fishing without the initial investment of a license. It's an excellent opportunity to introduce children to the outdoors or to simply spend a relaxing day by the water.
