There are several good pools to fish on the White River and I often alternated between the naval armory pool (Lake Indy at 19th Street) and the Broad Ripple pool (from 64th Street to 82nd Street). Without a doubt, the naval armory section has always been my favorite because of some of the large bronzebacks that I have caught from the huge boulders, rock and trees that lie in the river. Hot chartreuse, firetiger and natural colors, like baby-bass, were the hot colors. Rattle-traps were outstanding. Spinnerbaits produced good quality largemouth. Worms were extremely reliable. There are usually two times that the fishing on the White river really turns off - nightime and after a hard rain.
White River Description
The White River is a two-forked river that flows through central and southern Indiana and is the main tributary to the Wabash River. The west fork, at 439 kilometers (273 miles), is the longest fork of the river. It starts in rural Winchester in Randolph County, winds through Muncie, Anderson and Indianapolis before joining the east fork in Daviess County. The east fork starts in Columbus at the confluence of the Driftwood and Flatrock rivers. The east fork travels 261 kilometers (162 miles) before merging with the west fork. The combined White River then flows another 72 kilometers (45 miles) before draining into the Wabash river at the Indiana-Illinois border. The total White River basin watershed is 14882 square kilometers (5,746 square miles).
