Frequently asked questions
How much is a fishing license in Indiana?
An annual resident fishing license is $23; non-residents pay $60. Short-term (1-day/7-day) licenses are usually available for less. Trout/salmon stamps may be extra where required.
How much is a hunting license in Indiana?

Indiana doesn't sell a standard annual combo — you'd buy the fishing ($23) and hunting ($20) licenses separately.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources — online, plus license agents (sporting-goods stores, some retailers). Federal requirements like the $25 duck stamp for waterfowl are bought separately.
