Northern Pike
Northern Pike anglers looking for a central Wisconsin adventure should consider the waters near Park Ridge. The Wisconsin River offers diverse pike habitat, from slow-moving backwaters to faster-flowing stretches. Look for pike around submerged timber, weed beds, and the mouths of tributaries. Spring, just after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target spawning pike in the shallows. Fall is also productive as pike fatten up for the winter. Local anglers often have success trolling large crankbaits or casting spoons and spinnerbaits. A boat is highly recommended to access the best fishing spots along the river. There's a public boat launch north of Park Ridge that provides good access to the river. Be mindful of current and water levels, which can change rapidly on the Wisconsin River, especially after periods of heavy rain. Pike in this area are known to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to use larger lures.
