Northern Pike

Northern Pike

Various

While not as common as other species, Northern Pike can be found in a few select waters near Ignacio, Colorado. Navajo Lake, straddling the Colorado-New Mexico border, is your best bet for targeting these toothy predators. Pike prefer cooler water, so spring (right after ice-out) and fall are the most productive times to fish. Look for them in weedy bays and along submerged timber, where they ambush prey. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A local's secret: focus on the northern end of the lake where the San Juan River enters. Pike fishing at Navajo Lake is not consistent, but the chance for a trophy exists. Be prepared for some challenging conditions, as the lake can be windy. Remember to check both Colorado and New Mexico fishing regulations, as the lake crosses state lines.
