Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in eastern Colorado, Kit Carson offers some surprisingly good opportunities, primarily in the area's smaller reservoirs and irrigation ditches. These fish thrive in the weedy, shallow environments. Spring and early summer, as the water warms and pike move into shallower areas to spawn, is prime time. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation. Late fall before the ice sets in can also be productive as the pike feed heavily. Access can be tricky; many spots require walking in, so pack light. Be aware that water levels in irrigation ditches can fluctuate rapidly. Local tip: Try using large, flashy lures or swimbaits retrieved slowly through the weeds. The pike in this region tend to be ambush predators, so presentation is key. While not known for trophy-sized pike, the area offers a chance at some decent fish and a unique prairie fishing experience.
