Northern Pike
While Northern Pike aren't native to the Scotts Mills area, their presence in the Pudding River watershed is becoming more known. Though not a primary destination for pike fishing, anglers have reported catching them in the Pudding River and its connected sloughs. Spring, after the spawn, is a good time to target them as they recover and actively feed. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Large spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and even topwater lures can entice strikes. Keep an eye out for areas with submerged vegetation or woody structure, as pike often ambush prey from these locations. A practical tip: use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Access can be limited to specific points along the river or via boat launch sites further downstream. While the pike population isn't large, the chance of landing one in this area adds an element of surprise to your fishing trip.
