Northern Pike
Pike anglers visiting the Neshkoro area will find several opportunities to tangle with these toothy predators. While not a renowned pike destination, the local lakes and flowages connected to the Fox River offer decent pike fishing. Look to the weedy bays and shallow areas of Lake Puckaway, a short drive from Neshkoro. Pike often ambush prey near weed edges, so focus your efforts there. Spring is an excellent time, especially right after ice-out when pike are spawning in the shallows. Early fall can also be productive as the water cools and pike become more active. A local tip: Lake Puckaway can get quite windy, so be prepared for potentially rough conditions on the water. Use larger lures such as spoons, spinnerbaits, or crankbaits to attract their attention. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Pike in this region tend to average in the 2-5 pound range, with larger specimens possible.
