Northern Pike

Various

Pike fishing near Garden City, Colorado, can be a rewarding pursuit in some of the larger reservoirs and slower sections of the South Platte River. These predatory fish thrive in areas with plenty of cover, such as weed beds and submerged timber. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A wire leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A great local tip is to target areas near creek inlets or other areas where baitfish congregate. Public access to the South Platte River is available at several points, but be mindful of private property. Some reservoirs may require a state park pass. Pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, providing a thrilling fight for anglers. Be prepared for a challenge and handle these toothy predators with care.
