Hi, I haven't fished for many years, but would like to go catch some for eating. I want to learn to gut, scale and fillet fish that I catch (or buddies) from local Indiana waters. I have learned a lot about the safety of various fishes in different waters from the IDNR website...

I have several buddies who fish only for sport (catch and release) and only in spring/summer months, so they are unable to help me.

What I want to know is WHERE is a good place within an hour or so of Indy to pull out eatin' fish, and what SPECIES makes for good eating in Indiana?

Any info would be appreciated, I really want to have a fish fry!
