Northern Pike
Chasing Northern Pike near Stevens Point means understanding the flow of the Wisconsin River and the connected waterways. This area offers diverse pike habitat, from shallow, weedy backwaters to deeper channels and structure. Spring is prime time, as pike move into the shallows to spawn, making them aggressive and accessible. Fall is also excellent as they bulk up for winter. Focus your efforts around areas with abundant forage like panfish and minnows. A practical tip: pay close attention to water clarity after rainfall – stained water can push pike deeper, requiring adjustments to your presentation. Also, consider using larger, flashy lures in these conditions. Public access is available at several boat launches along the Wisconsin River, but be aware of current conditions, especially during spring runoff. The pike population here is generally healthy, with opportunities for both numbers and larger specimens, so be prepared for a fight!
