Maybe they get none of it, that's why they have to charge so much.
"our tax dollars pay the state to stock that lake" and we have to pay extra to get in because it's "a city park".
Eli lilly built the complex,when he died they donated it to purdue and they couln't handle it from what I understand so they gave it to the city of indy.I'm pretty sure indy doesn't have stock ponds to keep it up.Go to the DNR website and look at the eagle creek stocking records and that proves it.They bhave been getting away with this for a looooong time,and no one looks at it because they can't run their ski boats on it.The $ailer$ and $cullers are the lookie-loo of the the lake and we pay for it.I don't see any stickers on their boats and there are maybe 300 of the total.Our own little 9.9 giest.
