Northern Pike
If you're itching to chase Northern Pike near Hot Sulphur Springs, you'll need to venture to the larger reservoirs in the region. Wolford Mountain Reservoir is your best bet, offering decent pike habitat in its weedy bays and along submerged timber. Spring and early summer, right after ice-out, are generally the most productive times as the pike move into shallower water to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and crankbaits are effective for covering water and triggering strikes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves. A steel leader is essential, as these fish have sharp teeth. A local angler's trick: try fishing the inlets where creeks enter the reservoir, as these areas often attract baitfish and, consequently, pike. Be prepared for some wind on Wolford, as it can pick up quickly. Pike in Wolford aren't trophy-sized, but you can still find some respectable fish in the 5-10 pound range, offering a thrilling fight.
