Northern Pike
While not as renowned as some northern fisheries, Brookville Lake does offer a chance to tangle with Northern Pike. These ambush predators lurk in the weedy areas and along submerged timber, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and fall are the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, as are live or dead bait presentations. Focus on the upper end of the lake, where the Whitewater River flows in, as this area tends to have more vegetation and structure. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Pike in Brookville Lake aren't generally huge, but fish in the 5-8 pound range are not uncommon, and they provide an exciting challenge. A local tip: try trolling along the edges of weed beds with a large crankbait. Pike are often solitary hunters, so covering water is key to finding them.
