Here we go:Heres the front of the house (just edited to show this) Do not be mistaken with the white house below, that is <b>NOT</b> ours :lol It looks rather small from the front, but its two stories and there is a lot in the back you cannot see. We are going to do some additions to the house this summer so I'll show ya some before/after shots

Here you stand on top of our back deck looking out on Indian Lake (~65acres--you aren't seeing it all there)

Here is a picture of the deck you were standing on that my dad basically built. We hired somebody to do it for us cause he's quite busy but the guy did it completely off my dads standards (he used to do construction work) and even did some stuff wrong that could seriously damage the house. He hated it so he rebuilt it himself.

Below here is what we call the "lift chair" we didn't make it, the guys that lived here before us made it for the older guy across the street because he had heart trouble and this made it MUCH easier to get down to the lake to fish. You can't see the chair here, but it just rides down these rails (slowly) with a wench/5ton cable. It has a thing that'll stop it at the bottom and top.

Here you are looking back up it. You can see the chair here; I usually don't even sit down cause its wet (like it was today). I think the chair is out of an old Volkswagon (we rebuilt that also)

Here you can see the lake/dam from our dock.

Stairs that lead to nowhere? Look below for da (short) story

Ok, one day my friend and I wanted to go fishin, we get all our shit together, head down there. We start down the stairs, I'm carrying the battery and he's carrying the poles, tackle. Well, when we get down there, he starst loading the boat, but then something BREAKS and he nearly falls in but jumps in the boat. He only got his ancles wet. Well, remember me? I'm the one with the 20-30lb battery stuck behind him...I didn't have time to jump or anything so I just fell int he water (only about 5 ft or so) but it was freezin' and ruined fishin' morning. Theres the story, we took it up all the parts as you can see here:

Below is probably the biggest house/land lot on the lake. They are the "frenches." The older couple that used to live there passed away and now the kids own it or something. They rent it out as a party house. Lots of times in the summer you can hear jazz bands and lots of cool stuff goin' on over there. It's relaxing to just come down at night and sit at the dock listening. I once heard Pink Floyd and ZZ-Top played there before, but I have no proof. This came from my friends mom who lived here most her life.

I found the best fishing is below the dam, you see lots of yellow bellies and carp (which are fun to catch) down there. But in total, I would say there are croppy, bluegill, bass, and already mentioned, catfish and carp. They used to stock the lake a lot but for some reason they've stopped. I hope they start it up again!
