Howard Morse planned Indianapolis second reservoir, Morse Reservoir. The reservoir was built by the Indianapolis Water Company (now part of Citizens Energy Group), which also built the Geist Reservoir in 1941, and was dedicated on July 31, 1956. The water company recognized that the growing city would need another source of water, and Morse Reservoir served this need by doubling the cities water supply. Morse Reservoir has around 35 miles of shoreline surrounding a 1500-acre body of water. It is located about 20 miles north of downtown Indianapolis in Hamilton County and is bounded by Cicero to the north and Noblesville to the south. The water is sourced from several creeks, including Big Cicero and Little Cicero Creeks. There are two parks that offer free access to Morse Reservoir. Red Bridge Park is located in Cicero and offers boat slips. Morse Park and Beach is in Noblesville, and since 1972 has been leased to Hamilton County Parks and Recreation. Reservoirs are popular for fly fishing, especially for beginners, because the fish are eager to bite. Popular fish species found in the reservoir include largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, channel and flathead catfish, and alligator gar. From my research I found that some of the best bait for Largemouth Bass is plastic worms or crankbaits, especially in natural colors like green and brown. Some of the best bait for Smallmouth Bass is a tube jig or a drop shot rig with a soft plastic worm.
