Is there any restrictions to this? I thought there was but have not been able to find it listed.
Thanks, duff

In addition to the areas that are closed for fishing over all, below are the only two items that I found which place restrictions on use location for bow fishing and possession of the equipment.
312 IAC 9-7-2 Sport fishing methods, except on the Ohio River
(j) An individual must not possess a fish spear, gig, gaff, pitchfork, bowfishing equipment, crossbow, grab hook, spear gun, club, snag hook, or underwater spear in, on, or adjacent to any of the following:
(1) The Galena River (LaPorte County).
(2) Trail Creek (LaPorte County).
(3) The East Branch of the Little Calumet River (LaPorte and Porter counties).
(4) Salt Creek (Porter County).
(5) The West Branch of the Little Calumet River (Lake and Porter counties).
(6) Portage Burns Waterway (formerly known as Burns Ditch) (Porter and Lake counties).
(7) Deep River downstream from the dam at Camp 133 (Lake County).
(8) The tributaries of these waterways.
312 IAC 9-7-16 Sport fishing on the Ohio River
(e) An individual must not take fish within two hundred (200) yards below any dam on the Ohio River except by fishing pole or hand line.

Bow fishing equipment can only be used to take the following fish:
(n) In addition to any other lawful method, an individual may take a sucker, carp, Asian carp, gar, bowfin, buffalo, or shad by:
(1) bowfishing equipment or crossbow from Lake Michigan; or
(2) spear, gig, spear gun, underwater spear, crossbow, or bowfishing equipment from another lake.
(o) An individual may take a sucker, carp, Asian carp, gar, or bowfin with not more than one (1) snare only between sunrise and sunset.
(p) Except as specified at subsection (j), an individual may use bowfishing equipment or a crossbow on rivers and streams to take any sucker, carp, Asian carp, gar, bowfin, buffalo, or shad.
