Northern Pike
For those seeking the thrill of catching northern pike, Big Falls, Wisconsin, and the Embarrass River offer a worthwhile adventure. The river's slow-moving sections, backwaters, and abundant weed growth provide excellent habitat for these ambush predators. Spring and fall are the most productive times to target them. In the spring (April-May), pike are active after spawning, and in the fall (September-October), they feed heavily before winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A good access point is the public landing near the Big Falls dam. Be prepared for some challenging fishing conditions, as the water can be murky at times. The pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not uncommon, making it a great destination for anglers seeking a trophy.
