Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike near Wheatfield, Indiana, you'll want to explore the Kankakee River and its associated backwaters and sloughs. This river system provides the weedy habitat that pike thrive in. Spring and early fall are ideal times to target these ambush predators, as they are most active in cooler water temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. The Kankakee River State Park offers boat ramps and shoreline access. Be aware that the river can be shallow and weedy in some areas, so a shallow-draft boat or kayak is recommended. Pike in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but the thrill of the chase and the aggressive strikes make it a worthwhile pursuit.
