You should not discard fish guts directly back into Lake Michigan in Indiana. According to Indiana's Lake Michigan Clean Marina Guidebook , fish waste (offal) should be disposed of in a sanitary manner—such as in designated cleaning station grinders or in trash receptacles—to avoid pollution and public health issues, rather than being returned directly to the water.
