Fishing in Indiana

Indiana's lakes in the north are remnants of glacial activity, holding walleye, muskie, and bass. Brookville Lake and Monroe Reservoir are top spots for striped bass and largemouth. The Ohio River provides excellent catfish and sauger fishing. Lake Michigan's southern shore offers coho salmon and brown trout in fall.
