Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some northern pike in northern Indiana? Warsaw's chain of lakes offers a decent opportunity. While not a trophy pike destination, these lakes hold some respectable fish, especially in Big Chapman and Winona Lake. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are the prime times to target pike. They'll be actively feeding in shallower water near weedbeds. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are all effective lures. Don't forget a wire leader! A local tip: The channel connecting Big Chapman and Little Chapman can be a hotspot, especially in the spring. Pike often ambush prey in this area. Also, be aware that the water clarity can vary, so adjust your lure color accordingly. Brighter colors tend to work better in stained water.
