Northern Pike
Pike fishing near Rigby can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the Snake River and nearby reservoirs. While not as abundant as in some other regions, the Snake River does hold a population of northern pike, offering a unique angling opportunity. Ririe Reservoir, a short drive from Rigby, is another option to consider. Spring and fall are the most productive times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them in areas with submerged vegetation, backwater sloughs, and near the mouths of tributaries. Large lures, such as swimbaits and spoons, are effective for attracting strikes. Be sure to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from these toothy predators. Pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 10 pounds. Always be mindful of changing river conditions and water levels, especially during spring runoff.
