Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some Northern Pike in central Indiana? Waveland offers a few promising spots for these toothy predators, primarily within the Sugar Creek watershed. While not a trophy pike destination, you can find some surprisingly good action in the creek itself, especially during the cooler months. Focus your efforts in the spring (March-May) as the pike move into shallower areas to spawn, and again in the fall (September-November) as they actively feed before winter. Look for areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and creek mouths. A local tip: Access to Sugar Creek is available at several bridge crossings and public access points along State Road 47. Be prepared for some bank fishing and wading, as boat access is limited. Pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective. Don't forget a steel leader – their teeth are sharp!
