Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike near Tropic, Utah requires some dedication, as they aren't found in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet is to head north towards the Yuba Reservoir, a couple of hours away, which is known to hold a population of pike. The ideal time to fish for pike here is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. In the spring, focus on shallow weedy areas as the pike will be spawning. In the fall, they tend to move deeper as the water cools. A crucial tip for Yuba Reservoir: Pay attention to wind direction, as it can significantly impact water clarity and fish location. Also, using large lures like swimbaits or spoons is effective for enticing strikes. The pike in Yuba Reservoir can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a potential battle. This is not a numbers game; patience and persistence are key to landing a trophy.
