Northern Pike
Cornell, Wisconsin, is a fantastic destination for anglers targeting northern pike, with the Chippewa River and its connected flowages providing ideal habitat. These waters offer a mix of shallow, weedy bays, deep channels, and submerged timber, all of which attract pike. Spring and fall are the best times to target pike, as they are most active during these cooler periods. In the spring, focus on shallow bays and backwaters where pike spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective. In the fall, look for pike near weed edges and drop-offs. Large sucker minnows fished under a quick-strike rig are a classic and productive technique. A local tip: Be prepared for toothy critters! Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Also, Cornell-area pike are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight! Boat access is good, with several public landings providing access to the Chippewa River and its flowages. Be aware of submerged timber and other hazards, especially when navigating unfamiliar waters.
