Northern Pike
The Mississippi River near Stoddard, Wisconsin, is a fantastic place to chase Northern Pike. The extensive backwaters, sloughs, and connected lakes offer a diverse range of Pike habitat. Look for weedy areas, submerged timber, and current breaks, as these are prime ambush spots. Spring, right after the ice melts, is an excellent time to target them as they move into the shallows to spawn. Fall, when they're bulking up for winter, is another productive period. Access is primarily by boat, with numerous public boat ramps available along the river. Target Lake and the surrounding sloughs are known Pike hotspots. A local tip: use large, flashy lures like spoons or spinnerbaits, and don't forget a steel leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this section of the Mississippi can grow to impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
