Northern Pike
If you're looking for Northern Pike action near Somerset, Wisconsin, the St. Croix River is a prime destination. This river system holds a healthy population of pike, offering anglers the chance to tangle with these toothy predators. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them in weedy bays, along submerged timber, and near current breaks. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lure choices. Don't forget a wire leader to prevent bite-offs! A popular access point is near the Somerset dam. Be mindful of the river's current and any submerged hazards. The pike in the St. Croix can range in size from smaller hammer-handles to impressive fish exceeding 40 inches, so be prepared for a battle. Remember to practice safe handling techniques to ensure the health of these magnificent fish.
