Northern Pike
While Northern Pike aren't a common target in the immediate vicinity of Caliente, Nevada, a bit of a drive to the north can open up opportunities. Eagle Valley Reservoir, though primarily known for bass and trout, has a small population of Northern Pike that were likely introduced. Targeting these pike requires a different approach than the usual bass techniques. Spring and early summer, after the ice melts (if applicable), is the best time to find them active. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are effective lures for enticing strikes. Focus your efforts around weedy areas and submerged structure. The pike in Eagle Valley Reservoir aren't particularly large, but landing one can be a rewarding surprise. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. A local tip: check with the Nevada Department of Wildlife for any specific regulations regarding pike fishing in the area, as they may encourage harvest to manage the population.
