Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
Chippewa Falls is a great base for targeting northern pike, especially if you're after some serious size. The Chippewa River and Lake Wissota provide diverse habitats that these predators thrive in. Spring is prime time, as the pike move into shallow bays and backwaters to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective during this period. As the water warms in the summer, focus on weed beds and submerged timber. Fall is another excellent time to fish, as pike aggressively feed up before winter. Try trolling large lures or using live bait near deeper weedlines. A key to success here is understanding the water clarity. Lake Wissota can get stained, so brighter lures are often preferred. The river offers more opportunities for clear-water pike, where natural-looking presentations can excel. There are several boat launches around Lake Wissota, but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Also, remember to bring a good set of jaw spreaders and long-nose pliers for safe hook removal.
