Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some northern pike near Layton, Utah? Your best bet is heading to Willard Bay Reservoir. This large freshwater impoundment north of the city offers the ideal habitat for these ambush predators, with plenty of weedy shallows and submerged structure. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall are prime times. During the spring, pike move into the shallows to spawn, making them more accessible to anglers. Fall sees them actively feeding to prepare for winter. Try throwing large swimbaits, crankbaits, or even dead bait rigged under a bobber near weed edges. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are aggressive! Access to Willard Bay is readily available via several state park entrances. A tip: pay attention to the water level, as fluctuating levels can concentrate fish. Also, heavy vegetation growth can be common in summer, so plan accordingly with weedless presentations.
