Northern Pike
If you're after northern pike near Strum, Wisconsin, explore the larger lakes and flowages in the surrounding area. These bodies of water offer the weedy habitat that pike thrive in. Spring and early summer are particularly productive times to target pike, as they are often found in shallow bays and near spawning grounds. As the water warms up in the summer, they tend to move to deeper weed beds and cooler areas. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures for pike. A local tip: try fishing near areas where smaller baitfish are abundant, as pike will often congregate in these locations. Also, be sure to use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Many local anglers also use quick-strike rigs when fishing with dead bait. The pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight. Be sure to handle them carefully, as they have sharp teeth and can be quite feisty.
