Northern Pike
While Dodgeville, Wisconsin, isn't typically known as a pike hotspot, determined anglers can find Northern Pike in some of the larger lakes and flowages in the surrounding area. Cox Hollow Lake and Yellowstone Lake are good places to start your search. Spring and early summer are typically the most productive times, as pike move into shallow weedy areas to spawn and feed. As the water warms, they'll retreat to deeper water near weed edges and structure. One key tip for fishing pike around Dodgeville is to focus on areas with abundant weed growth. Pike are ambush predators and rely on cover to stalk their prey. Another thing to note is that the pike population here may not be as dense as in other parts of Wisconsin, so persistence and covering water are essential. Try using large spinnerbaits, spoons, or jerkbaits to attract their attention.
