Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Fitchburg, Wisconsin, means heading to the Madison chain of lakes. Lake Waubesa and Lake Kegonsa, easily accessible from Fitchburg, are known to hold good numbers of pike. These lakes offer diverse habitat, including shallow weedy bays, deeper open water, and prominent points, all of which can hold pike at different times of the year. Spring is an excellent time to target pike as they move into the shallows to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective during this period. As the water warms, pike will often move to deeper weed lines. A great tip is to use a steel leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Be aware that these lakes can get busy with recreational boaters, especially on weekends, so plan your trips accordingly. Check the Wisconsin DNR regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary from lake to lake.
