Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Milliken requires venturing to some of the larger reservoirs in the region. Boyd Lake State Park, a short drive north, can hold pike, though they aren't abundant. Look for weedy areas, submerged structure, and shallow bays where pike ambush prey. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall, as the water cools, are prime times to target pike. A local tip: use a steel leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Also, be prepared for wind, as Boyd Lake can get quite choppy. Large swimbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective lures for pike. The pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different colors and retrieves to find what they're keying on. Be patient, as pike fishing can be slow at times, but the reward of landing a large fish is well worth the effort.
