Fish biologists take a lot of heat for not keeping their fingers on the pulse of northern Indiana lakes.
But when you only have three district biologists overseeing some 180 natural lakes that have public access (about 33,000 acres of water) and another 70 that have limited access, is it really possible?
Historically, fish managers have tried to conduct a thorough survey of each lake every 5-10 years. Those surveys require a lot of man hours to run shock boats and nets over a 10-day period. Couple that with our weather issues, you can see that not every lake gets looked at as often as biologists or sportsmen would prefer.
