Northern Pike
Northern Pike aren't the most common species around Poncha Springs, but dedicated anglers can find them with some effort. Your best bet is to focus on the larger reservoirs in the Arkansas River valley, a bit of a drive east of Poncha Springs. While specific locations are best discovered through local intel, these reservoirs occasionally hold pike that have migrated from upstream or been stocked. Early spring, right after ice-out, and late fall, as the water cools, are prime times to target pike. They tend to congregate near weed beds and submerged structure. Large lures like spoons, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective, as are dead bait rigs. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this region are often opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations. Check local fishing reports for recent pike sightings before heading out, as their presence can be sporadic. A sturdy rod and reel are a must, as even smaller pike can put up a good fight.
