Do you need a fishing license at a pay lake in Indiana?
It depends. No Indiana license is needed to fish a private pond isolated from public waters (with owner permission); ponds connected to public waters require a license.
"Fishing in a private pond that does not allow fish entry from or exit to public waters. An angler must have permission from the property owner to fish in that pond."
