What's New?
Cody Steckel, an annual visitor and occasional Michiana tournament angler each summer, captured the WON Bass Pro Division Lake Havasu Open here last weekend.
An angler from Lowell, Michigan, caught a new state-record fish: a gizzard shad that weighed 4.45 pounds and measured 20.3 inches long!
New Gear
St. Croix Rod expands the angler-favorite Mojo Musky lineup with three all-new longer models – a 10’ heavy power JOMFG100HF2, a 10’ extra-heavy power JOMFG100XHF2, and a 10’6” heavy power JOMFG106HF2. All are two-piece with a 70/30 split that places the junction low in the stiffer section of the rod.

New Access Coming at Eagle, Juno
- Details
By Louie Stout
Eagle/Juno lake anglers have reason to smile.
Their prayers have been answered.
An abandoned property on the east end of Eagle will be converted into a quality boating/fishing access with parking and boat launches to serve both of the popular waterways.
The Michigan DNR has agreed with First Source Bank to purchase the former Dock Property near Edwardsburg and develop it into a multiple public access facility.
Preliminary plans include a parking area for the Eagle Lake boat launch, development of the pond located on the property into a family fishing site, and a boat launch on the channel leading to Christiana Lake and the Juno Chain.
Walleyes Still Abundant In Sylvan and Winona Lakes
- Details
(Provided by Indiana DNR)
Stocking larger fish in smaller numbers is paying off. Sylvan, Winona walleyes are plentifulEven though the DNR stocked fewer walleyes in Sylvan and Winona lakes during the past three years, studies show that’s had no effect on the number of walleyes that survived.
That means anglers will find plenty of walleyes to catch in those northeastern Indiana lakes. It also appears to mean factors other than stocking rates play more important roles in determining walleye survival.
From 2001 through 2009, DNR fisheries biologists stocked fingerling walleyes annually at the rate of 20 per acre at Sylvan in Noble County and Winona in Kosciusko County. That rate was cut to 15 per acre from 2010 through 2012. Survival rates one year later were generally greater at the lower stocking rate than at the higher one.
