What's New?

If you want to make the most of fishing on Michiana waters, a fish finder is an excellent addition to your kayak. Fish finders or “sounders” help you to locate fish underwater by using SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) technology, making it easier to see where the fish are and where you need to paddle to.

Sometimes, it pays to pitch for panfish as if they’re merely miniaturized versions of their larger bass brethren. In a way, they are. As members of the (Centrarchidae) sunfish family, species like bluegills, crappies and bass, in fact, all share a common pedigree.

Indiana’s St. Joe Steelhead Run Continues to ImpressIndiana’s St. Joe Steelhead Run Continues to ImpressBrian Breidert is a happy biologist.

And if you’re an Indiana steelhead angler, you should be, too.

Briedert was gushing lastweek as he discussed the spring steelhead run, one that has delivered a steady stream of bulldogging fish into Indiana waters all the way to the Twin Branch Dam.

And it ain’t over.

Mild Winter May Deliver Good Summer FishingMild Winter May Deliver Good Summer Fishing

Most anglers know that the weather plays a huge role in fish activity and angler success. Cold fronts can shut down a hot bite while an imminent thunderstorm can turn it on.

But what about our mild and goofy winter? Could it affect fishing this spring and summer?

Indiana fisheries biologist Jed Pearson thinks there’s a good chance it could yield a good spring and summer fishing season.

Pearson is a fish researcher who has been studying winters’ impacts on northern Indiana lakes.

“When we look at what’s happened on a handful of lakes we’ve studied, we’ve found that more and better habitat is present when overall winter and spring conditions are warmer and drier than during those seasons that follow colder, wetter years,” he explained.

When he speaks of habitat, he’s talking about water temperature and oxygen levels that affect the space in which fish can live comfortably.
