Fishing: It's not always about where to fish or what fish are biting. Beginners need basic information. You need a license to fish in Indiana. You will need to contact: Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and Wildlife @ 317-232-4080. General infomation regarding Fishing License or Hunting License or general questions email: dfw@dnr.IN.gov. You can also apply for a fishing or hunting license on line.

Winter is great for ice fishing. Ice sometimes stays on the lakes well into March in this region. Before tourist season arrives, it is easy to find quiet areas in secluded coves around Lake Papakeechie and Lake Wawasee for early season fly fishing. The DNR runs Henry Ward Park on the channel between Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake. They hold fishing tournaments at this location. It is a popular fishing site and has a boardwalk, fishing pier, picnic pavillion, playground and boat launch adjacent to the park.
