Planning on a trip to fish Brookville in a few weeks. Its only about an hour drive from my house and I have been told the smallmouth fishing can be very good. I have fished the lake once last fall with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. No, I am not looking for waypoints, just a general area or direction on the lake.

Thanks guys

Fished there on Sunday. I put in at Garr Ramp and that area is all no wake. They left a bunch of stumps in the upper fork of the cove once you come out from Garr across from Mound State Park. This was my first time on the lake, so forgive me if that is not Mound. I only fished for an hour from 10 am to 11 am (had kids and wife with me) and caught two largemouth (each 12 - 14") on a spinner bait.

Garr is a free ramp. Not sure if others are or not, again first time there. I will go back (need to take advantage of the $20 boat fee and fishing license!).

Not much, but hope it helps.

I will be launching by the dam. It is the closest place for me en route. I have read that smallies can be found near the rip rap by the dam but I have not even seen any recent local reports for bass on any of the guide service sites or marina boards. Should be interesting

Best of luck! Garr is in the first cove on the south east side. Let us know how you do. I will be there Sat. and Sun., probably only fishing one day. I will also report back.

Have you made your trip there yet? Wondering if you had any luck. I read some posts on Smalljaws and they are catching some pretty nice smallies there.

No not yet. I actually went on a Little Miami River trip instead. Excellent river to wade or take a kayak/canoe. Fishing for SMB is fantastic. landed a few pushing 3.5 lbs. For a small river, that is a good quality fish.

I go on Vacation starting July 30. Will probably be headed that way then. I will be in the silver and Black/Red Stratos

I am renting a cabin up there in August 12th and 13th, let me know if you are around those days. I will be fishing in the evenings and mornings all weekend. We have a blue and white Tahoe, hope to see you there! I am going to Cave Run the weekend of the 29th and 30th, ever fished there?
