HARDY LAKE — Anglers visiting Hardy Lake have even more to look forward to following a recent fish stocking initiative made possible by a generous local business contribution.
Aisin Drivetrain, Inc. of Crothersville has funded the purchase of 2,500 walleye for the southeastern Indiana lake this fall. To ensure a safe and healthy introduction to the ecosystem, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued the stocking permit, while the Indiana Board of Animal Health verified that all fish met strict disease-free standards prior to release.
The newly stocked walleye, measuring between five and seven inches, will expand angling opportunities for visitors who already enjoy Hardy Lake’s established largemouth bass and panfish populations. In addition to boosting recreational fishing, the introduction of walleye plays an important ecological role by helping maintain a healthy balance between predator and prey species in the lake.
For those looking to try their luck on the water, resources are available to help anglers learn more about walleye fishing strategies, regulations, and best practices across Indiana.
