Northern Pike
While not a common target species, Northern Pike can be found in some waters near Sparks, Nevada. Your best bet is venturing a bit further afield to reservoirs in the surrounding areas known to be stocked with them. Check Nevada Department of Wildlife stocking reports for the most up-to-date information. Pike are ambush predators, so target areas with plenty of cover, such as weed beds, submerged timber, and drop-offs. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are effective lures. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target pike, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Pike in this region may not reach trophy sizes commonly seen in northern states, but they still offer a thrilling fight. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. Pike prefer clear to slightly stained water. If the water is too murky, they may be more difficult to locate. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the pike population.
