Northern Pike
Pike fishing near Wauwatosa requires a bit of exploration, but it's definitely possible. While the Menomonee River itself may hold some smaller pike, your best bet is to target some of the larger lakes and reservoirs within a short drive. Pewaukee Lake, for example, is a well-known pike destination. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, with pike often found near weed beds and shallow bays during spawning and feeding periods. Summer can be tougher, but fishing early mornings and late evenings can still be effective. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits are all popular lures. When fishing near Wauwatosa, consider exploring smaller lakes like Okauchee, Nagawicka, and Pine Lake. These lakes offer a diverse range of structure and habitat that can hold pike. Be sure to check local fishing regulations and boat launch information before heading out. A good tip is to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from these toothy predators.
