  • Lake Tippecanoe Kosciusko County Fish Management Report– 2006
    Lake Tippecanoe Kosciusko County Fish Management Report– 2006 Jed Pearson, fisheries biologist Fisheries Section Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife I.G.C.-South, Room W273 402 W. Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lake Tippecanoe and the Oswego basin is an 851-acre natural lake located 2 miles west of North Webster. A state-owned boat ramp is available on Armstrong Road. Lake Tippecanoe is moderately fertile, although the main basin is less fertile. During summer, enough oxygen for fish in the top 15-20 feet. Eurasian water milfoil is the dominant aquatic plant and is treated with herbicides. Eel grass has become more common, while spatterdock and water lilies are scarce. Recent fish management efforts have centered on muskie stockings and imposition of bass size limits. To obtain information on the fish community, a survey was done on June 19-22, 2006. Effort included 75 minutes of electrofishing, nine gill net lifts, and nine trap net lifts. During the survey, 988 fish were collected and total weight was 576 pounds. Bluegills dominated the catch by number (39%), followed by largemouth bass (13%), and gizzard shad (13%). Carp ranked first in weight (17%), followed by bass (13%) and shad (11%). Bluegills were 2.0-8.5 inches long, but the electrofishing catch rate was very low. Bass were 4.1-17.7 inches long but only six were legal-size. No muskies were captured. Lake Tippecanoe has a diverse and relatively stable fish community. The survey results suggest the average size of bluegills may have increased over the past 10 years but the percentage of 14-inch and larger bass remains low despite imposition of size limits.

    1 Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 20 (1993) Volume 101 p. 201-219 FISHES OF THE TIPPECANOE RIVER, INDIANA AN OUTSTANDING MIDWESTERN STREAM Douglas A. Carney, Lawrence M. Page, and Thomas M. Keevin 1 Illinois Natural History Survey 607 East Peabody Drive Champaign, Illinois 61820 ABSTRACT: A total of 26 fish samples, taken at 22 sites along the length of the Tippecanoe River from 1985 through 1987, yielded 68 species. Historic and recent ichthyological records increase the total number of fish species known from the river to 84. The fish fauna of the Tippecanoe River is diverse and includes a number of species that are rare or declining throughout their historic ranges. Thus, the Tippecanoe River is a valuable aquatic resource that should be protected from further modification. A synopsis of distributional and habitat information on uncommon fishes that are extant in the river is presented in this paper. The uncommon species are Ichthyomyzon bdellium, Hybopsis amblops, Notropis buchanani, Etheostoma camurum, E. maculatum, E. pellucidum, E. tippecanoe, Percina copelandi, P. evides, and P. shumardi. Additionally, a rare form of logperch, Percina caprodes manitou, was identified from the Tippecanoe River. This subspecies is found in the glacial lakes region of northern Indiana and possibly further north. Type specimens of two nominal forms of Percina previously described from the glacial lakes of northern Indiana were ex- amined. A preliminary analysis of the taxonomic status of P. c. manitou is presented. INTRODUCTION The earliest studies of Tippecanoe River fishes were published in the late 1800s and early 1900s by David Starr Jordan and his proteges, Barton W.

Fishing and eating fish from Indiana waterways can be safe and fun if you follow the suggestions on the following pages. In addition to describing healthy eating of sport-caught fish, interest has increased over the years about consuming commercial and farm-raised fish. We have, therefore, included information in the Advisory. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), with support from Purdue University, collaborate to produce this annual Indiana Fish Consumption Advisory . The Advisory is based on the statewide collection and analysis of fish samples for long-lasting contaminants found in fish tissue, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, and/or heavy metals (e.g., mercury).

    173 The Relation of Lakes to Floods, with Special Reference to Certain Lakes and Streams OF Indiana. Will Scott. The problem of flood prevention is a part of a larger problem which we have considered either in a fragmentary way or not at all. This larger problem is thie development of the waters of our state as a natural resource. To regard a river as a menace because its higher stages, under present conditions, are destructive ; or to consider a lake to be a waste area because it can not be plowed, indicates a very limited insight or selfish motives. Some of the factors that must be considered in the de- velopment of th.is resource are power sites, building sites, water supply for cities, water for irrigation, places for recreation, avenues for trans- portation, and fish production. It may be regarded as self-evident, that a whole drainage system must be treated as a unit. It is impossible to develop one power site, withv'ut affecting another; floods prevented in the upper course of a stre.-au will make them less destructive in its lower course, etc. The thing that affects most fundamentally these elements of value in a stream is its rate of discharge. The work of Tucker ('ID has shown that not nearly all of the power sites in Indiana are developed; and that those that are developed are limited in value because of the low minimum discharge. High banks along streams are worth much more for building sites than for farm land. The more constant the stream level is.

  • Tippecanoe Watershed (HUC – 05120106) Indiana
    Tippecanoe Watershed (HUC – 05120106) Indiana Rapid Watershed Assessment Tippecanoe Watershed Rapid Watershed Assessments provide initial estimates of where conservation investments would best address the concerns of land owners, conservation districts, and community organizations and stakeholders. These assessments help land owners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals. Helping People Help the Land 1 Tippecanoe Watershed (HUC – 05120106) Indiana Tippecanoe Watershed Introduction The Tippecanoe watershed is an eight digit (05120106) hydrologic unit code HUC) watershed located in the North Central part of Indiana. The watershed drainage area is just over 1,253,300 acres. The watershed covers fourteen different Indiana counties. It is subdivided into 84 subbasins represented on the map by 12 digit HUCs (Figure 2-1). Helping People Help the Land 2 Tippecanoe Watershed (HUC – 05120106) Indiana Common Resource Area There are three common resource areas in the watershed: The Central Corn Belt Drift Plains – (98.1). Broad flat and slightly rolling upland hill slopes, mainly cropland. Corn, other feed grains, and hay for dairy cattle and other livestock are the crops. Soft winter wheat and dry beans are important cash crops. Fruits and vegetables are grown in places where soils and markets are favorable. Few scattered areas are used for permanent pasture, woodlots and urban uses. Soils are very poorly drained to excessively drained, formed in loamy glacial drift. The Indiana and Ohio Till Plain, Northeastern Part – (111B.1). Broad, level clayey till plain with some end moraines, lake basins, and sand and gravel outwash. Extensive corn, soybean, wheat, and livestock farming on artificially drained soils with scattered woodlots.
