Northern Pike
Northern pike aren't a common target species immediately around North Salt Lake, but with a little effort, you can find them. Your best bet is to head north to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge or Willard Bay Reservoir. These larger bodies of water offer the weedy habitat and baitfish populations that pike thrive on. Spring and early summer, after the ice melts, are peak times to target pike as they move into shallow water to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are all effective lures. If you're fishing from shore at the refuge, focus on areas with emergent vegetation. At Willard Bay, trolling along weed lines or casting into bays can produce results. Be prepared for some serious strikes, and use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
