Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in Wisconsin, Birnamwood offers some excellent opportunities, particularly in the spring and fall. The nearby Eau Claire River and its flowages are prime locations. These waters are known for their weedy shallows and submerged timber, which provide ideal ambush points for pike. Spring, just after ice-out, finds pike actively feeding in the shallows as they prepare to spawn. Fall sees a resurgence of feeding activity as they bulk up for winter. A local tip: focus on areas where the river narrows or where feeder creeks enter the main channel. These areas tend to concentrate baitfish and, consequently, pike. Also, be aware that water levels in the Eau Claire River can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. The pike in this region often run large, so be prepared with heavier tackle and steel leaders.
