Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some toothy predators near New Plymouth? Pike fishing in this region centers around the Payette River and Lake Lowell. Lake Lowell, in particular, offers excellent pike habitat with its weedy shallows and submerged structure. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as water temperatures cool, are prime times to target these ambush predators. Pike in Lake Lowell can reach impressive sizes, with some pushing well over 10 pounds. A local tip: focus your efforts around the mouths of creeks and canals that feed into the lake, as these areas often hold baitfish and, consequently, pike. Be prepared for some snaggy conditions and bring wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Access to Lake Lowell is available via several boat ramps and shoreline access points, but be aware of seasonal water level fluctuations.
