Northern Pike
Northern Pike fishing near Elk Mound offers a fun challenge, primarily in the Red Cedar River system's flowages and backwaters. Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin hold decent populations of pike. Spring, immediately after the ice melts, finds pike congregating in shallow bays to spawn. Fall is another excellent time, as they aggressively feed before winter. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are effective lures. Tip: Pike in this area tend to relate to weed beds, so focus your efforts around these structures. Also, be prepared for some stained water conditions, especially after heavy rains; brighter-colored lures often produce better results. Boat access is readily available on both lakes, but be aware of potential hazards like submerged timber and rocks.
