Northern Pike
The waters around Ingram, Wisconsin, hold some decent northern pike, and targeting them can be a blast. Focus your efforts on the larger lakes and flowages connected to the Jump River system. These areas offer the weedy bays and shallow, sun-warmed flats that pike love to ambush prey from. Spring is an excellent time, particularly right after ice-out when the pike are actively feeding in the shallows. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective. Another productive time is late fall as the water cools and pike aggressively feed before winter. A local tip is to try fishing near beaver dams; these structures often create ideal pike habitat with plenty of cover and baitfish. Be prepared for some toothy critters, and always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure sizes and presentations. Remember to handle them carefully to ensure their survival upon release.
