Default Summer fishing get-together?

And are there any fishing opps in or around Indianapolis?


I used to fish the White River near a campground just north
of Indianapolis. It's a pretty nice smallmouth stream there.
I was there for the Grateful Dead at Deer Creek Music Center
so fishing wasn't top priority and I haven't had an Indiana
license since.

I live two hours west of Indy and there are fishing opportunities
around here but by July the lakes fish better for largemouth than
the streams for smallmouth.

Give me a call when you're around and we'll find something to
cast to.

Wow, it sure does! Why don't you guys all send me an email with phone
numbers, and I'll get in touch nearer to the time. For the week that
I'm in Indy, I'll be free every night after the sessions (from around
4pm onwards) and willing to make little jaunts anywhere, for fishing
or cameradie. As for the other legs (to DC, then to Maine), I'm fair
game to adjust my timing around trips.

Got the email with the cell number.

The only campground I know in the area is on the White River and
called appropriately enough White River Campground.

http://www.co.hamilton.in.us/parks_details.asp?id=2933

It's a county park of Hamilton County, Indiana. It's a nice enough
place and when I camped there years ago you could catch smallies
within easy walking distance of your campsite (between aluminum
hatches). One thing that's changed is that there is now a No
Alcoholic Beverages rule. I know damn good and well that rule
wasn't in effect when the Grateful Dead were following me around.

Bottom line: I don't know of a suitable place near Indy anymore.

I'll take a drive over to Turkey Run State Park and check out the
campsites. Turkey Run is just about equidistant from my house and
Indy. I've been there several times but never camped because it's
so close to the house.
