Fished Summit Lake yesterday. Bass fishing was great - caught two three pounders (maybe more) while trolling for walleyes.  Talked to a guy fishing for bass and he caught more walleyes than bass.  Maybe I should change my strategy and say I am going for bass?

I do agree, nice place to fish, hike, camp. Pretty quiet. 

I do fish Brookville and Whitewater. Whitewater has a nice campground and small lake with good fishing as long as you have a boat.
