We're thinking about taking a trip to Ohio next month, mainly to visit friends, but since we're doing it on the cheap and camping anyway... might as well fish right? We're looking at the Hillsboro/Bainbridge area, and actually one of the friends lives nearly on top of Pike Lake Park. My question is, does anyone have any experience with Pike lake, Rocky Fork lake, or Painted Creek Lake? I'm trying to decide which campground is best and right now Rocky Fork is winning due to the free WIFI (what can I say, I'm a junkie!). Some advice, or reviews of the lakes would be awesome:)

basswitch, although i have never fished in the lakes your talking about............................go to this website. there are plenty of people that have fished those lakes. good luck

Rocky Fork has a very nice campground. The fishing is just O.K. I have never been to the others you asked about, although I have heard the crappie fishing at Paint Creek is good.

Rocky fork is the best bass lake in southern ohio had a night tourny couple weeks ago took 22 lbs to win i got 2nd with 19 lbs that is where I would fish

heres another

Thanks folks, we've decided to stay closer to home this year, but I'm thinking a Rocky Fork trip could be in the works for next year!
