INDIANAPOLIS – It is time to begin planning your 2025 fishing trips, with fishing licenses available to purchase for this year’s adventures on the water.
Licenses valid April 1 through March 31, 2026, can be purchased through the new DNR Fish & Wildlife Activity Hub at www.GoOutdoorsIN.com, or through in-person retailers listed at www.on.IN.gov/HuntFishLicenseRetailers.
With your 2025 fishing license, you can aim for a new state record, as was recently confirmed for Lafayette angler Isaac Switzer. His shortnose gar weighed 2 pounds, 15.9 ounces, beating the previous record by more than 10 ounces.
Switzer caught the fish on June 17, 2024, while using a Carolina rig and cut baitfish.
