ozark trout fisher Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 No, this isn't Michigan or Wisconsin, but you couldn't tell based on the scenery. It's far northern Indiana and the Tippecanoe River. Tried a few casts, but it is below freezing here and unsurprisingly the smallies had no interest in anything I threw. Still a great day. Daryk Campbell Sr, Johnsfolly, BilletHead and 3 others 6

There are many places in Indiana that remind me of the Ozarks. Southern Indiana in parts of Hoosier National Forest is especially indistinguishable, unless you look at geology/vegetation really closely. That's a good thing for someone who tends to pine for home more than I ought.

grizwilson Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks for posting, I shared with my son who is stuck in Chicago for now he is always looking for a place to bend his rods and use his tent. He googled and said about 2 hrs from him he hopes to go down there. g Chief Grey Bear 1 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein

Of course none of them are secrets that close to so many cities, but the state park system is pretty robust and most of them are worthwhile. Tippecanoe has a good trail system and the river is supposed to be very solid for smallies. Definitely worth doing.
Johnsfolly Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I wonder if the river is the original collection site of the Tippecanoe darter, Etheostoma tippecanoe. It is definitely a fish that I would love to catch someday. OTF - Thanks for the photos!

I have been blessed and cursed with natural curiosity, a collector's spirit, a knack for taxonomy, a love of field guides and dichotomous keys, and a photographic memory. I also appreciate all the diversity that the Lord has provided for us to enjoy. So getting after the little ones especially those that are brightly colored in the spring is becoming a obsession. We missed fishing together last Jigfest, I hope if we are both there again that we get a chance to drag some trout around. grizwilson and ozark trout fisher 2
