Northern Pike
If you are looking to tangle with Northern Pike in the Catawba, Wisconsin area, you're in luck. The Flambeau River and its associated flowages and smaller lakes hold some decent pike populations. Spring, just after ice-out, and the fall months are your best bets. During these times, pike are often found in shallower water, actively feeding. Focus on areas with submerged timber, weed edges, and creek inlets. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are effective lures. Dead bait under a bobber can also be deadly. A local tip: try fishing near the confluence of the Jump River and the Flambeau River – this area often holds a good concentration of pike. Be sure to use a wire leader, as these fish have sharp teeth. The Flambeau is a scenic river, so enjoy the natural beauty while you're out there!
