That is correct. Monroe is technically Indiana's largest lake (man made reservoir) @ 10,750 surface acres. Lake Wawasee is somewhere around 3,000+ surface acres making it Indiana's largest ”natural” lake.
Lake Monroe is a great lake for commons. We shot an 18 lb common on video this past May which is a personal best for us on that lake. I did hear that the water is finally getting back down close to normal pool. Majority of this year, Monroe was probably double its normal size. We were fishing in the tree tops this spring down there. The spot we were bowfishing in was about 12-16 feet above where it normally was. The water developed a deep brownish, red coloration to it from all the exposure to dead leaf litter and vegetation not normally accessible by the water level. I guess all of the tannins leaching out of the dead leaves, decaying logs, fresh growth etc are what caused the color change. Then it stopped raining and things got kind of stagnant. I haven’t been back down there since early June. It should be getting much better by now. We are planning on attending this shoot. It's nice to see some local tournaments in our area of the state.
