Fishing in NWI

[Jose]

Where is the best spots to fish in NWI ? I’m fairly new to the area and am looking to go fishing.

I’m far from an expert fisherman I think it is too early for most species....?

 

[Jose]

Yes . However, March is the time to get your fishing license. In getting my gear ready.

Might do better posting this in The Outdoor Thread. Some fishing going on there. My 2 cents

You may want to specify boat or bank fishing.

Lake Michigan and Salt Creek should have some spring steelhead moving in.
This is not for the faint of heart or Wal-Mart rod and reel combos.
Plenty of public access areas, some ponds and lakes, look for city parks.
Good luck and tight lines.

Make sure to stab all the fish you catch, because this is the knife forum and we don't take kindly to rule breakers round here. J/K
From Merriville, head east on 30, just before SR 2, on your left, there's access to Salt Creek via a parking lot. Time it right and the steelies and Coho run right through that skinny water.
The piers at Michigan City are another solid spot to fish.
Google earth is your friend for finding local spots.
Good luck.

 

[Jose]

I see I’m in the right spot. I will stab them. As I usually carry a knife. And I sharpen my own knives.

Is there a limit or size ? I should look it up myself. Thanks tho
