North of Kendallville just off of 3, across the road from big long lake.

The lake has some nice fish but can be a challenge. Lots of deep clear water. Used to be planted with trout. Now planted with walleye. Bring some tip ups to set while you're jigging for panfish, as the lake not only has eyes it has some big northern pike. I mounted a 41 inch northern for the lake association years ago. Best bite for walleyes is first light and dusk.

Also yellow perch, bluegills, some natural bluegill/redear hybrids, and crappies. I've found decent yellow perch just off the bottom in about 30 fow. They move a lot though.

One favorite spot for gills is a hump on the east side known as Jobe's Hole. The key is finding some weeds or structure in this lake.

Ice permitting there used to be an ice fishing tournament every year with cash prizes. Been a few years since I've been up there so I don't know if they still do it.

I may make the trip if the ice is good. Look forward to meeting you all.

I will try to find the address for the boat ramp and post it up that way you can type it into mapquest .

black55 · « **Reply #39 on:** Dec 09, 2013, 07:52 PM »

Hate to say this but all i have is a lousey 3g phone barely have the internet. Can't use mapquest , but will hit up some one that has a pc.

tightliner812 · « **Reply #40 on:** Dec 09, 2013, 07:56 PM »

4745 S county road 890 E wolcottville 46795 . When you punch this in it should take you right to the ramp or the house right next to it . It should have you turn on 500 S off of state road 3 and then on to 890 E after that . I hope this helps . it is also on page 101 in the sportsman connection Northern Indiana fishing map guide . If you have any more questions do not be afraid to ask or PM me .

No problem. Just wish I'd been fishing it the last few years to give more up to date info. Been having too much fun with my four ponds and four recirculating systems raising fish.

That is the plan unless we need a bigger place . If so I'm looking at lake of the woods tavern.
