Located in Kosciusko county, Webster Lake is Indiana’s Brood stock & Premier Musky Lake. The DNR says that there is an average of 6 adult fish per acre with the average length at around 38″. That can make for an awesome day on the water with several follows and hook ups this is usually a good action lake. It is also a great Crappie and Bass fishery. we usually catch a few Bass every year around 5lbs. The DNR is currently doing a PIT tag study that Webster Lake Guide service is participating in.

Tippecanoe chain is 3 interconnected lakes James, Tippecanoe, and Oswego. James lake holds the last 2 state record Muskies the current is 42lb 8oz. Oswego is where the Tippy River starts. The chain has the potential to hold several State records (Pike, Gar, Muskie, Bass etc) Tippy can be hard to fish because of the steep deep break lines. The Public access can be a little tough to use also but there are 3 Pay ramps on the lake the easiest one would be Pie eyed Petey’s off of Armstrong road.

The Barbee Chain will be the next Webster some day.  It has 7 interconnected Lakes that all have mid lake humps, Channels with current and awesome Native weeds.  It has the diversity of Clear and stained water. The Muskies seem to be a little heavier on the chain than Webster. Our average length is closer to 40″ here.  The Public access is located conveniently off of HWY 13 Just North of Number 1 stop bait and tackle. This lake can be a good hiding place for fisherman during the summer months because Big Barbee is the only lake that doesn’t have a 10mph speed limit.
