The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Brookhaven Addition Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Fish documented in Grant County include blackside darter, longear sunfish, common carp and johnny darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Brookhaven Addition Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 74°F, with January the cold end at about 24°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid March. The open-water window runs from around mid March to about late December in an average year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Brookhaven Addition Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lincoln Country Club Lake, 2.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Brookhaven Addition Lake before loading the car.
