Club Outing – Bixler Lake
July 15, 2018
THREE RIVERS FLY FISHERS
SUMMER OUTING
BIXLER LAKE
The club outing will be held on Bixler Lake in Kendallville, Indiana. Bixler is a 117 acre warm water lake so we will have an opportunity to fish for bluegill, crappies, bass and pike. The lake does have a public access ramp so boats, kayaks, canoes, kick boats etc. can be used on the lake. There is a 10 MPH limit for motorized boats. There is also room for those who would like to fish from shore. There is an area to walk up to the water’s edge with ample back cast room. An Indiana fishing license is required.
Directions from the Fort Wayne area are as follows: Take highway 3 north from Fort Wayne. When you get close to Kendallville you will see a sign for East Noble High School, Kendallville, with an arrow pointing to the right. There is a stop light at the intersection. You will make a soft “Y” turn to the right. You are now on South Main Street. Continue 1.3 miles north on S. Main to E. Diamond Street. Look for the Hite Funeral Home and a Marathon station on the right. Turn right (east) on Diamond and go .6 miles to Bixler Lake Park. You will see tennis courts on your left. Turn left into the parking area for the courts as well as for Rotary Pavilion. Rotary Pavilion is our lunch spot and meeting area. If you are trailering a boat do not use this lot as there is not enough space to turn around. If your craft is on a trailer continue past the tennis courts. The street dead ends onto Lake Street. Turn right (south) onto Lake and you will see the public access site on your left.
If you are using highway 6 into Kendallville, turn south onto North Main Street and look for E. Diamond Street. The funeral home and Marathon station will be on your left. Turn left and go .6 miles to the park. There is no parking on grass areas around the park. Use the designated parking areas (lots/street) only.
The event is open to all club members. Brats and hot dogs will be provided by the club. If members would like to bring a side dish or dessert it would be appreciated.
