Spring is finally here, which means it’s time to hit the water for some fishing! Before heading out, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) wants to remind everyone that 2023-2024 fishing licenses will expire on March 31.

To renew your license for the 2024-2025 season, or purchase one for the first time, visit on.IN.gov/INhuntfish or a local retailer.

License purchases support Indiana’s wildlife and their habitat and the outdoor activities we enjoy. Your purchase is matched by federal funds to provide even more support for wildlife conservation.
