Northern Pike
Pike fishing in Cole Camp, Missouri, might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the area offers some hidden opportunities. While not as abundant as in more northern climates, Northern Pike can be found in the Lake of the Ozarks and its feeder creeks near Cole Camp. Spring is the peak season, as the pike move into shallower, weedy areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective. A local angler’s secret is to target the backs of coves early in the morning or late in the evening. Be prepared for some toothy critters; a steel leader is a must. The pike here are generally smaller than those found in the northern US, but landing one is still a thrilling experience. Patience is key, as these fish can be elusive.
