www.eregulations.com/indiana/fishing/basic-fishing-informationAs long as I follow the state's bag and possession limits and the person being gifted the fish to does the same AND has a valid fishing license with any applicable stamps, I don't see how it is illegal. Care to clarify? I'll save you the work. Current through May 25, 2022 Section 312 IAC 9-6-12 - Prohibition on gifting fish Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-22-2-6 Affected: IC 14-22-13 Sec. 12. An individual must not gift fish listed in section 1 of this rule to another person whether taken in: (1) Indiana; (2) the boundary waters of this state; or (3) another state and brought into Indiana; knowingly or intentionally for the purpose of stocking a private lake for which customers pay for the opportunity to fish. 312 IAC 9-6-12 Filed 10/24/2017, 8:46 a.m.: 20171122-IR-312170262FRA Readopted filed 9/18/2019, 1:16 p.m.: 20191016-IR-312190325RFA The "for the purpose of stocking a private lake for which customers pay for the opportunity to fish" is the kicker. Gifting fish to go in a private non-pay lake is legal according to that, am I correct or incorrect?

It is illegal, if the gift of fish is to stock "a private lake for which customers pay for the opportunity to fish."
If an entry fee, lease, or any other type of payment is made to allow you to fish the pond, the gift of fish to stock such a pond would be illegal.
