Central Indiana fisheries biologist Rhett Wisener recommends the 177-acre Middle Fork Reservoir near Richmond.
Wisener says a 2006 survey found a lot of crappie and bluegill in the lake.
Some bluegill measured more than 8.5 inches long.
"Crappie fishermen at Middle Fork should do well this year and next year.<br />
Our survey found an abundance of crappie and bluegill. And the lake's crappie are growing larger than in the past. They should be 9 or 10 inches in length by now," says Wisener.
Middle Fork Reservoir is north of Richmond in Wayne County. The lake's park, managed by the county, has a boat ramp. Boat motor size should not exceed six horsepower. Rental fishing boats are available in season.
