Post Indiana bowfishing
Does anybody have a link or know where the IN regulations are for bowfishing.

Guys are telling me that you CAN'T bowfish in Indiana with the aid of lights. If not, I can contact the local CO.

Thanks....

Found info.

You can on rivers, lakes & reservoirs . Rivers have to be over 1,500 cfs., if not, you can only bowfish from sunset to sunrise. There are a lot of exceptions for rivers but if u can jump it don't hunt at night.....

You can bowfish with the aid of a light. I have been doing it for years and killed thousands of fish.
