Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in western Idaho, Cambridge offers a surprisingly good starting point. While not a renowned pike destination, the impoundments and slower sections of the Weiser River near Cambridge hold decent populations, especially in the sloughs and backwaters. Spring, just after ice-out (typically late March/early April), is prime time as pike move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or downed timber. Another good window is late fall as water temperatures cool. A local tip: access to the river is limited, so scout for public access points along Highway 95 or inquire at local tackle shops about landowner permissions. Pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are effective. Don't be afraid to experiment with bright colors. Expect to find pike in the 2-5 pound range, with the occasional larger fish.
