Does my 4 year old need a Youth Consolidated Hunting and Fishing License to fish on public waters?

I just found the excemptions to the License requirements. Having the Youth Consolidated license that includes hunting and fishing is a bit confusing.
Fishing License Exemptions
A fishing license and trout and salmon stamp are NOT
required for:
• Indiana residents born before April 1, 1943. However, you
should carry your driver’s license or other identification to
verify your age and residency.
• Resident and non-resident anglers under the age of 17.
• Residents who are legally blind.
• Residents of a state-owned mental rehabilitation facility.
• Residents of any licensed health care facility in Indiana taking
part in a supervised fishing activity sponsored by the facility.
• Fishing a private pond does not require a license. However,
you must have permission from the property owner to fish.
• Residents of Indiana who are engaged in full-time military
service may fish without a license while on approved military
leave. However, the angler must carry leave orders and a
valid Indiana driver’s license or voter registration card.
Non-resident military personnel stationed within Indiana must
obtain a resident license to fish or hunt in Indiana.
• Landowners or lessees of farmland, who farm that land, their
spouses and children living with them, while fishing in public
waters from the farmland they own or lease.
• Some non-resident landowners, while fishing in public waters
from the farmland they own, according to the exemptions
that their state provides to Indiana residents. See the website
at wildlife.IN.gov or call (317) 233-4976 for specific
information.
