Northern Pike
Camp Douglas offers a strategic location for anglers chasing Northern Pike in central Wisconsin. The numerous flowages and backwaters associated with the Lemonweir River provide ideal habitat for pike. These waters are characterized by shallow, weedy areas and plenty of submerged timber. Spring (May) is an excellent time to target pike as they move shallow to spawn, but fishing can be productive throughout the open water season. The Lemonweir River itself can also hold pike, especially around downed trees and current breaks. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective lure choices. A key to success here is to fish slow and deliberately, especially in areas with heavy cover. Pike in this area are known to be ambush predators, so be prepared for sudden strikes. Be aware of the potential for fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains. Check local conditions before heading out. Consider using a kayak or small boat to access some of the more remote areas of the river and flowages.
