Northern Pike
If you're looking to tangle with some Northern Pike in Indiana, Cedar Lake is a solid bet. This lake has a healthy population of pike that thrive in its weedy shallows and cooler depths. Early spring, right after ice-out, is an excellent time to target them as they become more active. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits retrieved quickly near weed beds are productive. Fall is another great season as pike aggressively feed before winter. Try trolling large crankbaits or using live bait rigs along the weed edges. A local secret is to focus on areas near creek inlets or areas with submerged vegetation, as these often hold concentrations of pike. Be prepared for some toothy critters; always use a wire leader. Public access is available, but be aware that Cedar Lake can get busy, so plan accordingly.
