Northern Pike
Looking for Northern Pike near Stoughton? The Yahara River and the connected chain of lakes, especially Lake Kegonsa, are your best bet. These waters offer the weedy, shallow bays that pike love to ambush prey. Spring, right after ice-out, is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow spawning areas. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective. Fall is another productive period, as pike feed aggressively before winter. Try trolling large crankbaits or using sucker minnows under a bobber. Be prepared for some toothy critters, so always use a wire leader. A local's secret: focus on areas with green weeds, as these hold more baitfish and attract pike. Lake Kegonsa State Park offers excellent boat launch facilities and access. The pike in this area can range from smaller 'hammer handles' to impressive trophy fish, so be ready for anything.
