Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in northern Indiana, the Tippecanoe River near Winamac offers some surprisingly good opportunities. This stretch of the river isn't known for trophy-sized pike, but it holds a healthy population of aggressive fish in the 2-5 pound range, with the occasional bigger one lurking. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the pike are actively feeding after spawning. Fall can also be productive as they fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and current breaks. A local tip: the Pulaski County Park offers good access to the river with boat ramps and bank fishing spots. Also, be aware that the river can be shallow in places, so a kayak or canoe is ideal for navigating the area. Spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures, but don't be afraid to try larger swimbaits to entice a bigger bite.
