I thought that there used to be a license that you needed to have if you wanted to own a pay fishing pond/lake? A friend wants to recoup some of his $$ spent on raising Brook/Brown/Tiger Trout and Coho Salmon and he's thinking of charging people to fish in his pond. I don't see that on the IDNR website any more. Has that disappeared or am I not looking in the correct place?

Thanks

The Indiana Code or Indiana Administrative Code does not have a requirement for such a permit or license. However, local city and county ordinances may have restrictions due to zoning or other uses. Your friend would want to check with the local officials to ensure they have no requirements that must be met.

The information provided in the answers to these questions is not to be considered or implied to be legal advice.

A person should contact an attorney for legal advice.
