Northern Pike
If you're looking to tangle with Northern Pike in the Prentice, Wisconsin area, you're in luck. Several lakes and flowages in Price County, including the sprawling Lake Nokomis (though technically just outside of Prentice), hold healthy populations of these toothy predators. Pike fishing is best in the spring, right after ice-out, and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. During these times, pike move into shallower weedy areas to feed. Focus your efforts around emergent vegetation, weed lines, and submerged timber. A local tip: the Jump River, while known for trout, also holds some surprisingly large pike, especially in the slower, deeper sections. For lake access, many public boat launches are available around Lake Nokomis. Pike in this area are known to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to throw larger lures like spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
