Northern Pike
Pike anglers looking for a less-pressured fishery should consider Shullsburg, Wisconsin. While not teeming with trophy-sized fish, the small rivers and backwaters around the Galena River offer a chance to tangle with some respectable northern pike. Early spring, just after ice-out, is an excellent time to target these predators as they become active and move into shallow weedy areas to spawn. Spinnerbaits, large spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what triggers strikes. Local anglers often have luck with large, flashy lures. A good access point is near the County Road O bridge. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and bag limits. While most pike will be in the 2-4 pound range, the occasional larger fish is always a possibility, making for an exciting day on the water.
