Northern Pike
While Louisville, Colorado, isn't a renowned pike hotspot, dedicated anglers can find these toothy predators in some of the larger reservoirs and lakes within a short drive. Boulder Reservoir, for example, holds a population of northern pike that can offer exciting fishing opportunities. Spring, just after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target pike as they move into shallower water to spawn. Fall is also productive as they feed heavily before winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or rocky structure. A local tactic is to use large, flashy lures or swimbaits to attract their attention in the often-murky water. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for pike, as they can vary. Boat access is available at Boulder Reservoir, but be prepared for potential wind and wave action on the open water. Pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
