Over
Korte feiten: Stretching across 2,400 acres, this reservoir was created in the 1960s to supply irrigation water and provide flood control for the Wabash River Valley. Anglers regularly pull out massive catfish tipping the scales past 30 pounds from these waters.
Hoogtepunten: On still summer mornings, a thick fog settles over the water while great blue herons stand motionless along the shoreline, creating a scene that feels prehistoric. The reservoir's irregular shoreline means you can paddle into hidden coves where the only sound is a kingfisher's rattle echoing off the bluffs.
Insidertips
- Bring polarized sunglasses to cut through the surface glare and spot fish hiding near submerged timber.
- The eastern shoreline has less boat traffic and better bank fishing access if you don't have a kayak.
- Pack binoculars for spotting waterfowl; the reservoir is a stopover point for migrating ducks and geese.
- Arrive before sunrise in summer to claim the prime fishing spots before the weekend crowds roll in.
