Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike in Combined Locks, Wisconsin, offers a unique experience centered around the Fox River. This section of the river, especially near the locks and dams, creates ideal ambush points for these aggressive predators. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are prime times. During spring, focus on backwaters and areas with emerging vegetation where pike spawn. Fall sees them staging near deeper holes and current breaks as they prepare for winter. For bank access, several parks along the Fox River Trail offer excellent casting opportunities. Be aware of the fluctuating water levels due to the locks; check the river conditions before heading out. Pike in this area are known for their robust size, likely due to the abundant forage fish in the Fox River system. Using large lures like crankbaits, spoons, or bucktails is a good strategy, and don't forget a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
