Northern Pike
If you're looking to tangle with some Northern Pike near Milton, Wisconsin, you're in luck. Lake Koshkonong, connected to the Rock River, is a prime destination. This large, shallow lake provides ideal pike habitat: plenty of weeds, submerged wood, and baitfish. Spring, particularly right after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target pike as they move into shallow bays to spawn and feed. Fall is another excellent period, as pike fatten up before winter. Try trolling large spoons or crankbaits along weedlines, or casting bucktails and jerkbaits in shallower areas. A local's secret: Focus on areas where the Rock River enters or exits the lake, as these areas often hold current and attract pike. Be prepared for some exciting fights, as the pike in Koshkonong are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic displays. Several public boat launches provide easy access to the lake. Remember to bring your wire leaders!
