Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Lodge Grass, Montana, requires seeking out specific habitats. While not as prevalent as trout, pike can be found in some of the larger reservoirs and slower-moving sections of the Bighorn River drainage. Spring and early summer are arguably the best times to target pike, as they become more active after spawning. Look for weedy areas, backwaters, and shallow bays where they ambush their prey. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, as are large streamer flies if you're fly fishing. A local tip: use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Access to these areas can vary, so research boat ramps and public access points beforehand. Pike in this region can grow to impressive sizes, offering a thrilling fishing experience for those willing to put in the effort to find them.
