The rule today
In Indiana, anyone 18 or older must carry a fishing license to fish in waters of the state, including boundary waters, and a trout-salmon stamp to fish for or take trout or salmon (IC 14-22-11-8). Exempt: anyone under 18, residents born before April 1, 1943, legally blind people, residents with a developmental disability, residents on a free fishing day, and farmland owners or farming lessees and their household fishing on that land (IC 14-22-11-1). Licenses are issued by the Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife.
