I personally just don't think they would put the extra dollars to good use. Is there even a trophy fishery up there outside of bass fishing at Patoka?? Crappie are good at Hardy, redear are decent at Hardy, Elk Creek, Ferdinand and used to be good at Indian and Celina.
I always wanted to see Indiana build a big lake and manage it for trophy fishing. Look at the Mississippi crappie lakes, the TVA lakes in Tennessee and the awesome lakes in Kentucky, now that's fishing.
