Buy your fishing license today, then check the Indiana fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
Fish populations would become depleted if there were no fishing regulations in place. Fishing rules and regulations help ensure that our fisheries stay healthy so that future generations can experience the fun of fishing. There are unique regulations in place for certain species and waterways, so review the most recent set of rules each time you go out on the water.
Every time you go fishing, you make an impact on the environment around you. With an increasing number of anglers on the waterways each year, there can be a high level of pressure exerted on our fish species and the habitats in which they live. Learn more about how state fisheries managers and biologists implement fish management plans that often include fish stocking or habitat protection efforts in order to sustain healthy fisheries.
Indiana has its own set of fishing laws and regulations that need to be followed in order to protect their fish populations
