Introduced in 2005, the ChatterBait bladed jig was the result of years of experimentation by Ron Davis, Sr., a lifelong tinkerer with a background in research and development who refined blade shape, placement and vibration.

The Common Angler by Jack Wollitz
With a cold winter in the forecast, some nights are just meant to curl up with a good book.
Well, I’m here to tell you about a couple of really good ones that will help pass the dreary winters and keep you entertained – “The Coon Hunter and the Kid” by Hoosier Jack Spaulding and “The Common Angler” by Ohioan Jack Wollitz.
They’d make excellent gifts so you might want to drop a hint to that loved one who never knows what to get you for Christmas.
Both are written by a couple of veteran Midwest outdoor writers whom I know and can vouch for their ability to spin a yarn.

Walleye fingerling
If things go as planned, northern Indiana will offer much better walleye fishing in the coming years.
We can say that because of positive changes the Indiana DNR is making in its hatchery program and philosophy for raising and stocking walleyes.
Prior to this year, the state mostly stocked smaller, 2-inch fish with hopes that several would survive and grow into a contributing fishery. Those fish were the offspring of adult walleyes captured in nets at Brookville Reservoir in southern Indiana.
Some lakes were being supplemented with larger, commercial hatchery fish and those waters had a higher success rate. The DNR annually purchases about 35,000 larger ‘eyes from commercial hatcheries.
