Here's a couple Big Walnut smallies for you, from last July. Me: Dad: What happens when the bait gets loose... Something that's NOT supposed to be in the section of the Walnut we were in: Closer:

I could be wrong, but we were in the upper section of the Walnut. There is a dam between the section we were in and the lake that the Walnut feeds into (Cataract, I believe), so AFAIK, they shouldn't have been in the upper section.
Could be wrong though.

They were in every stream I have ever seen small mouth in. Shocked quite a few around the state as well as conventional fishing methods!
Something cool about fish and dams. When I was working at IDEM and the White River was killed, an American Eel was collected. Those eels migrate up streams from salt water. So this eel came from no less then the Gulf of Mexico and made it up all the lock/dams of the Mississippi/Ohio then up Wabash to White river where there are multiple dams the eel migrated past to end up in Noblesville. Several had been collected near Muncie over the past 10 or 20 yrs so it is possible for fish to make it past dams. Pretty cool I thought.

those rock bass are in the Walnut near Bainbridge. Catch them in Sugar Creek and Blue River near Fairland, also. There are spots in some of the creeks, too. You never know what you'll catch in a crick, longear and pumpkinseeds are some of my favorites.
