Got Nature? Blog

MyDNR, Indiana’s Outdoor Newsletter: All annual licenses and stamp privileges from last season expire on March 31. Purchase your 2024 license online, in person, or by mail, and check out our Licenses & Permits webpage for more information on license expiration dates and fees.

Once you have your new license, start planning for your spring fishing fun. The DNR starts stocking fish in early April, and you can take advantage of these opportunities to get an early start on your spring fishing adventures.

View fish stocking locations on the fish stocking webpage and Urban Fishing webpage. Mark your calendars for May 12, the first Free Fishing Day of the year.
