Northern Pike
Pike fishing near Arimo, Idaho, is best pursued in the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Portneuf River. While pike aren't as abundant as in some other regions, patient anglers can be rewarded with some decent-sized fish. Spring is an ideal time to target pike, as they move into these shallower areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are effective lures. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Access to these backwaters can be challenging, often requiring some hiking or wading. Local tip: early mornings and late evenings are often the most productive times for pike fishing. The pike in this area tend to be ambush predators, so focus on areas with heavy cover and structure. Be prepared for an exciting fight if you hook into one of these toothy critters!
