Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
For Northern Pike enthusiasts, Markesan, Wisconsin, offers some exciting opportunities in the Fox River and its connected lakes and flowages. These waters provide the weedy, shallow environments that pike thrive in. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with pike being most active in cooler water temperatures. Target areas with abundant vegetation, such as weed beds and lily pads, especially along the edges. The Grand River and Puckyan Lake are known pike hotspots. A local tactic is to use large spinnerbaits or spoons, retrieved quickly through the weeds. Pike in this area can be aggressive, but also wary, so vary your retrieve. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Access is available at various public boat launches along the Fox River system, but be prepared for potential weed cover and fluctuating water levels.
