Northern Pike
If you're after northern pike, the lakes and flowages around Lena, Wisconsin, offer some solid opportunities. These waters often have abundant weed growth and shallow bays, providing ideal habitat for pike. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, when water temperatures cool, are the best times to target them. Pike are ambush predators, so focus on areas with thick vegetation, such as weed beds and lily pads. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use large baits, as pike are aggressive and opportunistic feeders. Also, be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The pike in the Lena area can range from smaller hammer-handles to impressive specimens exceeding 40 inches. Be aware of the potential for heavy weed growth, especially during the summer months, which can make fishing challenging. A local tip: try fishing the edges of weed beds with a weedless spoon or spinnerbait. Remember, handle pike carefully due to their sharp teeth and practice catch and release to sustain the fishery.
