If you've been out to Brookville Res. this past month, then you've seen IDNR personnel running around near the dam. Here's what they've been doing, courtesy of Tyler Delauder, Assistant Fisheries Biologist at Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

I don't fish for walleye, but I don't have anything against those who do. However, I don't understand why our state spends so much effort on managing walleye, stripers, white bass, etc. I would bet there are a lot more fishermen in Indiana who fish for bass, crappie, and bluegill than for those other species. If there is any data on what species of fish people in Indiana fish for, I think it would be interesting to see. It seems like most people who fish Patoka fish for bass and crappie, with some also fishing for bluegill and catfish. What fish has the state stocked in that lake in the last 15 years? Stripers, white bass, and walleye. I just don't understand.

Cool video. I would enjoy seeing them do a video on their bass fisheries. I talked with a Conservation Officer last week and asked if they (DNR) stock Large Mouth Bass in Raccoon Lake and he said their studies have shown the lake is deep enough for the bass to survive over winter and they seem to replenish the lake on their own. It's pretty cool thinking I can catch a bass in a big lake bank fishing and it survived all through winter.
