Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike in the Bear River, Wyoming, is an exciting change of pace from the trout fishing. While not as abundant as in some northern lakes, the Bear River and especially Woodruff Narrows Reservoir offer opportunities to tangle with these aggressive predators. Focus your efforts in the spring and early summer when pike are actively spawning and feeding in the shallows. Look for weedy areas, backwater sloughs, and areas with submerged vegetation. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are all effective lures. A local tip: pike often ambush prey from cover, so target areas where the river widens and slows down. The water can be quite turbid at times, so use lures with plenty of flash and vibration to attract their attention. The pike in the Bear River tend to be ambush predators, so cover water efficiently and be prepared for a sudden, powerful strike. Wire leaders are a must, as their teeth are razor sharp.
