Northern Pike
Arcadia, Wisconsin, isn't necessarily known as a Northern Pike hotspot, but the backwaters and sloughs of the Mississippi River nearby offer surprisingly good opportunities. These weedy, shallow areas are perfect ambush points for pike, especially during the spring spawn and the fall feeding frenzy. Focus on areas with dense vegetation and slow-moving current. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective, but don't be afraid to try a large sucker minnow under a bobber. A great access point is the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge; it provides ample opportunities to explore the backwaters. Be prepared for some challenging navigation in these areas, as the water can be shallow and weedy. The pike in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but you'll find some larger specimens mixed in, and the action can be consistent.
