Northern Pike
For anglers seeking Northern Pike near Footville, Wisconsin, the Rock River and its associated backwaters are your best bet. Pike thrive in these weedy environments, ambushing prey amongst the vegetation. Early spring, just after ice-out, can be incredibly productive as pike move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Don't be afraid to throw larger baits; these fish are aggressive! Another good time to target pike is in the fall, as they bulk up before winter. Access to the Rock River is available via several public boat launches. Be prepared for some heavy vegetation, especially during the summer months. Consider using weedless lures or topwater baits to avoid getting snagged. The pike in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but you still have a chance at landing a trophy. Tip: A steel leader is essential when pike fishing, as their sharp teeth can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon line.
