Error in printed fishing regulations
New Fishing Guide posted online

The 2010 DNR Fishing Guide online publication is available for viewing at http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2347.htm, by selecting "large format."
The large-format version of the 2010 guide is an expanded version of the printed guide available in past years. In addition to regulations, the new online guide includes feature articles on bank fishing, creel surveys, the Brookville Lake bass survey and fishing for walleye, as well as a list of where to fish in Indiana, and many color photos.
The change to an online publication was made to save on printing costs. In lieu of that guide, the six-page regulations brochure referred to above was printed and distributed across the state.

The printed six-page fishing regulations document that was distributed across the state earlier this year contains an error under Largemouth Bass on page 3. The Sugar Creek verbiage under "20-inch minimum size and one-fish daily limit" should be listed under a new separate section called "Special Stream Black Bass Regulations," along with the 12- to 15-inch slot size limit information for the Blue River, which is also incorrectly listed in the Largemouth Bass section on page 3. "Black bass" includes largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass.
A corrected online version of that document can be viewed at http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2347.htm by clicking on "compact version." The DNR regrets the error.

Acquiring an Indiana Disabled Veteran Fishing License

Disabled veterans get a discount on their hunting and fishing license's. There is a new procedure in order to due so. It includes filling out an application called Reduced Fee Hunting and Fishing License for Disabled Veterans. You can download the form at this website www.wildlife.in.gov.

Once the form is completed it must be sent to the following address:
Customer Service Center
401 W. Washington St.
Room W160
Indianapolis, In 46204

The application takes approx. 2 weeks to complete. After that you will need to retain the original document for your records. Each new year will require a new license, this can be obtained at an authorized DNR Licensing facility using the previous years license as validation of your DAV status or the actual application from your records. The cost of a DAV license is $2.75, which can be sent with the application or paid at a DNR representative for licenses after the approved application is returned to you. DNR representative's are Kmart, Walmart or your local bait and tackle shops.
