Indiana Lakes of Nobles County Shape Rare Inland Waters
A New York Sun report describes Indiana’s northeastern lake system, noting 312 lakes in Noble County with Sylvan Lake as the largest. The group, isolated from the state's river system, resembles the Delaware valley lakes of New York and Pennsylvania but lacks their wild environment. The article cites notable catches of large smallmouth bass from Sylvan Lake, including a nine and a half pound specimen by Sidney Smith of Rome City and another nine pound fish by Dr. Moyer of Kendallville.
