About this water
The Kankakee River near English Lake in Starke County is a legendary northern Indiana fishing destination known for its exceptional northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass populations. The river's slow, meandering character through marsh and wetland habitat creates ideal conditions for large predatory fish. Float fishing by canoe or kayak is the preferred method for covering the productive stretches of this scenic river.
