I used to live in Indy. Eagle Creek isn't too bad if you have a boat. The 56th street bridge can be productive from shore, but it's better from a boat. As for types of fish that are good for eating...panfish (bluegill, redear, crappie, etc.) are at the top, thus their name. The perch family (yellow and lake perch, walleye, sauger, saugeye) are also top notch. The afore mentioned Eagle creek has a decent walleye population as well as Cataract Lake, which is only about 35 to 40 minutes. You can find panfish in most of the ponds in apartment complexes (try Fisherman Village) and subdivisions. I enjoyed fishing Big Eagle Creek near Morris St and also near Lynhurst. The channel catfish can be very active here too, but check the advisories on them first. The big blue river in Johnson county can yield some good fishing as well. Good luck.
