I'm an Indiana guy and get up there every chance I can. I lived in Rochester for 18 months and fell in love with the lake. Moving back to Indiana was a shock to they system. Not a single place in Indiana comes close. I'll go up for the walleye, muskie and even the perch. There are people fishing for Bass before the season, no doubt about it. But they aren't just Indiana guys. You'd hope that everyone would abide by the laws and treat the stewardship of the resource with the importance it deserves. While there may be jerks from everywhere, there are a lot more good people from everywhere.
