We have corrected our license problem with the Indiana Gaming Commission. We’re in need of art objects
(prints, decoys, etc.) for the auction. Letters of introduction for the purpose  of soliciting businesses you
patronize are available online at our website, as well.

and fish to smoke. Any game dish you would care to contribute is also welcomed.

    We have been having a problem with people sneaking onto the club property and
    stealing fish.  DNR will now be giving tickets to anyone on the property who is not a
    member and anyone taking fish from the property.  "Without consent" is the charge,
    it is a $153.00 ticket.  LCF&G is now on file with the local CO's, they know how to
    identify a member so be prepared to ID yourself as a member.  If you see someone
    who is keeping fish or see anyone who is not a member please call the DNR tip line.  
    800-TIP-IDNR ( 800-847-4367 )  You don't have to give your name but let them know.  
    They may not be able to come right out but sooner or later they will get them.  
    We paid for those fish and the theft has to stop.

    Emergency numbers are posted in the window near the front gate.

    Thanks for your help
