Northern Pike
Pike fishing near Calhan, Colorado, presents a unique challenge and reward, given the semi-arid environment. While not a traditional pike hotspot, a few smaller reservoirs and private ponds in the area can hold surprisingly large fish. Specific locations are often closely guarded secrets among local anglers, so doing your homework and networking is key. Spring (late April-May) just after ice-out and fall (September-October) before freeze-up are generally the most productive times. Look for shallower weedy areas where pike ambush prey. A local tip: Check with the Calhan General Store or nearby bait shops for the most up-to-date information on water levels and recent catches, as conditions can change rapidly. Also, be prepared for windy conditions, which are common on the plains. The pike in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so large flashy lures or dead bait presentations can be effective.
