Photographed by – John Maxwell, Indiana DNR 2018-2019 INDIANA FISHING GUIDE 1 MESSAGES Even though everyone has their prime times, fishing can be a nearly year-round way of life in Indiana. So it makes sense that it takes all 12 months to create the opportuni- ties you enjoy so much. Remember, much of what you catch didn’t get there solely by Mother Nature. A lot of people contribute to the abundant fishing opportuni- ties we Hoosiers enjoy. I’m referring to the dedicated individuals who make up the Fisheries Section of the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Creating and main- taining sustainable places to fish is applied science. Of the 74 full-time fisheries employees, 62 have a bachelor’s degree and 23 of those have master’s degrees. Some Williamstown, MA | Birmingham, AL work on the water, others in one of our seven hatcheries, and still others at regional offices. Fifteen work at the Central Office in Indianapolis, where my office is. Their shared goal is to develop and improve fishing in Indiana. That sounds simple. But -mak ing it happen is not. Their hard work and research helps develop some of the rules in this guide. Their efforts also made for some of the incredible results you will see inside on the Record Fish and Fish of the About This Guide Year pages. But of course you do the catching. So celebrate your successes, post your photos and tell your stories. But please remember, just This high-quality guide is offered to you as you probably didn’t catch your fish by accident, it probably didn’t get there, at that size, by by the Indiana Department of Natural chance either. Both were part of carefully hatched plans. Resources through its unique partnership with J.F. Griffin Publishing, LLC. The revenue generated through ad sales significantly lowers production costs and Cameron Clark generates savings. These savings translate Director, Indiana Department of Natural Resources into additional funds for other important agency programs. If you have any feedback or are inter- You can name many reasons why you love fishing. You may even wonder ested in advertising, please contact us at why anyone need ask. 413.884.1001 or at www.JFGriffin.com And you probably know how your license and equipment money not only benefits you and other anglers, but also anyone else who cares Graphic Design: about conservation and the outdoors, even if they’ve never gone fishing. Jon Gulley, Dane Fay, John Corey, The fees you pay also benefit people who have yet to discover an Evelyn Haddad, Chris Sobolowski appreciation of the outdoors. After all, everyone needs clean air and clean water, which are direct results of the habitat our funds, from your license fees, preserve. But do your friends, family and coworkers who don’t fish know about these things? If they don’t, please consider informing them, in a diplomatic way. We don’t have enough anglers to fund the conservation work that’s needed. So invite some- one to go fishing with you, even if they’ve never gone before. If they aren’t interested in fishing right then, give them a rain check. Ask them to consider buying a fishing license so they will be ready the next time, and help fund conservation at the same time. And tell them the benefits buying a license will bring, even if they never cast a line. Buying a license means Indiana gets federal funds that translate into $10 for every license

    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

  • 2018 Indiana State Forest Open House Summary
    Indiana DNR Division of Forestry 2018 Indiana State Forest Open House Summary In December 2018, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources - Division of Forestry conducted nine State Forest open house events. Each state forest participated in an open house, which were advertised locally through newspapers and radio as well as regionally through a state-wide news release. Postcards announcing the event were also sent to neighbors and interested stakeholders. In addition, several stakeholders posted information about the open houses on their websites and social media pages. State Forests who held events on their property included Clark State Forest/Deam Lake State Recreation Area, Ferdinand State Forest/Pike State Forest, Greene-Sullivan State Forest, Harrison-Crawford State Forest, Jackson-Washington State Forest/Starve Hollow State Recreation Area, Martin State Forest, Morgan- Monroe State Forest/Yellowwood State Forest, Owen-Putnam State Forest, and Salamonie River State Forest/Frances Slocum State Forest. Selmier State Forest conducted its open house event at the Jennings County fair in July. Designed as an opportunity to publicize information about programs and activities held at each State Forest, the open house events assist in creating a dialogue with neighbors and constituents and allow an opportunity to receive their input on state forest management and policies. Each open house featured a number of displays and included such interest areas as recreation management, resource management, land management, community affairs, property direction, etc. Several properties hosted additional educational events such as a forester led hike, tours of facility improvements, tours of recreation enhancements, etc. Each attendee was asked to register and comment sheets were made available for any ideas or opinions that an individual wished to share on that particular State Forest.
