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. -

S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) biological opinion based on our review of the FERC Staff Alternative identified in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Final Environmental Assessment (EA) dated 10 November 2016. The FERC Staff Alternative prescribes operation of the Norway-Oakdale Hydroelectric Complex operated by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). The Norway-Oakdale Complex comprises Norway Dam and Lake Shafer, Oakdale Dam and Lake Freeman, and the small flowing reach of the Tippecanoe River between Lake Freeman and the Norway Dam. It affects the Tippecanoe River in White, Carroll, and Tippecanoe Counties in Indiana. This biological opinion evaluates the effects of the FERC Staff Alternative on the endangered clubshell mussel (Pleurobema clava), fanshell mussel (Cyprogenia stegaria), sheepnose mussel (Plethobasus cyphyus), rayed bean (Villosa fabalis), snuffbox (Epioblasma triquetra) and threatened rabbitsfoot (Quadrula cylindrica cylindrica) mussel and rabbitsfoot Critical Habitat in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Your 16 February 2017 request for formal consultation was received on 21 February 2017. This biological opinion is based on information provided in the Final EA, which the FERC submitted as its biological assessment (BA), field investigations by the Service in coordination with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), public meetings, meetings with NIPSCO, the Shafer and Freeman Lakes Conservation Commission (SFLECC), Congressman Todd Rokita (Indiana), the office of the Lieutenant Governor (Indiana) and other sources of information. -

Indiana Report – 2017 North Central Division American Fisheries Society Kayla Werbianskyj
River & Streams Technical Committee State of Indiana Report – 2017 North Central Division American Fisheries Society Kayla Werbianskyj The following accounts have been solicited from the Indiana American Fisheries Society membership and summarize some of the major lotic ecological research, restoration projects, management strategies, monitoring appointments, and conservation efforts ongoing across the state of Indiana. Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) / Office of Water Quality / Watershed Assessment and Planning Branch Compiled by Kayla Werbianskyj Probabilistic Monitoring Efforts The main objective of IDEM’s Probabilistic Monitoring Program is to provide a comprehensive, unbiased assessment of the ability of rivers and streams in a river basin to support aquatic life and recreational uses. Sites are randomly generated each year for the selected basin from a laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon. This project is on a watershed rotation schedule to cover the whole state in 9 years (West Fork White River, Patoka River, East Fork White River, Great Miami, Upper Wabash, Lower Wabash, Kankakee River, Great Lakes, Ohio River). In 2017, sampling for the program focused on waterbodies in the Kankakee River Basin. For the purpose of this program, the Kankakee River Basin is geographically defined as within the borders of Indiana and is contained by the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes 07120001, 07120002, and 07120003. Biological communities and habitat information were sampled at 38 sites with landowner approval. Water chemistry and E. coli were sampled at the same 38 sites and an additional 7 sites (in the event of a rejection of the original 38). Starhead Topminnow (Fundulus dispar) – Kankakee River Basin Performance Measures Monitoring Efforts Performance monitoring is initiated to show improvements in water quality when waterbodies cited in Categories 4A and/or 5A of Indiana’s 303(D) List of Impaired Waters have received documented nonpoint source (NPS) control or watershed planning and restoration efforts.
