Northern Pike
For Northern Pike enthusiasts visiting Merton, Wisconsin, exploring the local waterways can yield some exciting action. While the smaller rivers may hold pike, your best bet is to target larger lakes and flowages within driving distance, like the Okauchee Lake. Pike fishing is often best in the spring and fall when the water temperatures are cooler. Pike are ambush predators, so focus on areas with weed beds, fallen timber, or other structure where they can hide. A practical tip is to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Also, be prepared to experiment with different lures and retrieve speeds to find what the fish are responding to on a given day. Pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to bring appropriate tackle.
