Location: On The Water | OK,
Since my post extolling the virtues of the current administration in the Cave Run thread was deleted, my request still remains...
I need intel on this body of water...
Anyone?

Location: Indiana | I don't know of anyone who will admit to doing well on Brookville. The stocking numbers say they are there, and the DNR gets them in the nets when trapping for walleye. I hear about people getting one hear and there. I have seen a few in coves, but am yet to feel like I have any areas figured out to the point of being confident. I wish I could figure something consistent out there. Good Luck. |

| I haven't seen any recent stocking info but I remember seeing some number from the past. If I recall correctly they stocked a lot of muskies but they were smaller fish, not the ideal 11" to 13" size. I live in Southern Indiana but Brookville is still a long way from my house in Evansville. If I were to hear something encouraging, I'd make the trip over there to check it out. |

Location: On The Water | Thanks for the replies both in this thread and for the few that PM'ed me with the lowdown. I have been studying this particular lake for quite some time with the Navionics software app on my desktop; school is out, time to fish. What's the worst that could happen? Not hook-up? It's not like that never happened before, and in my world, there is no such thing as a bad day fishing. Pics to follow perhaps... |

That is incorrect. After all Ohio program lakes are stocked the remaining fish are stocked into Pymatuning Reservoir on the OH/PA border. Pymatuning received 2,370 "surplus" fish this year. |

That may be true but Brookville is an Indiana lake stocked by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, not ohio |

Location: On The Water | Anyone happen to know where to find the latest stocking information here? I have scanned the Indiana DNR website and haven't been able to determine anything. |

Location: Indiana | I don't think they put it online. Each year they do put a report together that is presented at the Hoosier Muskie Hunter club meeting. I think I still have all of those at home. If I can find them, I will pm them to you. |
