Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
Pike anglers around Littleton, Colorado, should focus their efforts on Chatfield Reservoir. This large reservoir offers ideal pike habitat with plenty of submerged vegetation, rocky structure, and shallow bays. Spring is the absolute best time for targeting pike as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for pre-spawn females staging near spawning areas in late ice-out. Large swimbaits, jerkbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective. Later in the season, focus on weed lines and deeper structure. Be aware that Chatfield can get windy, so check the forecast before heading out. A good boat ramp is located on the south side of the reservoir. Pike in Chatfield can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to use heavy tackle and a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
