Northern Pike
If you're targeting Northern Pike near Butler, Wisconsin, the focus should be on the larger bodies of water in Waukesha County, such as Pewaukee Lake and the Menomonee River. These waters provide the weedy habitat and forage base that pike thrive in. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall, as the water cools, are ideal times. Pike are aggressive feeders and will readily strike large lures like spoons, spinners, and crankbaits. Don't forget a steel leader to prevent bite-offs. For boat access, Pewaukee Lake has several public boat launches, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially on weekends. The Menomonee River offers some shore fishing opportunities, particularly near parks and bridges. A local tip: try fishing the weed edges in Pewaukee Lake with a large sucker minnow under a bobber – a classic and effective pike tactic. Pike in this region are known for their fighting ability.
