Club Outing – St. Joe River – Bristol, IN
July 19, 2020
Our second summer outing will be held in Bristol, Indiana on the St. Joseph River on Sunday, July 19, in Bristol’s Congdon Park. We will be just a few miles downstream from Mottville, Michigan.
Congdon Park is located off North Division Street (County Road 23) just over the river on your right side as you are going out of town.
There is a free boat ramp just across the river in Hermance Park (off SR 15 North). There is plenty of easy-to-wade water in the area. The Little Elkhart River and the Pigeon River both flow into the “Joe” just a short distance upstream.
This water fishes very similar to Mottville but no Michigan license required.
The Club will be providing lunch at the Congdon Park Gazebo at 12:00 Noon. We will have bottled water available but you may want to bring your own drinks.
Easy Driving Directions:
From Fort Wayne go north on US 33 to Ligonier. Go straight through the stop light on SR 5 and continue north through Shipshsewana to SR 120. Turn left (west) on SR 120 and follow to Bristol. At the intersection of SR 120 (Vistula Street) and SR 15 South (Division Street) turn right and cross over the St Joseph River. Congdon Park will be on your right side. Lunch will be at 12:00 in the parks gazebo.
