Colorado's ice fishing bite for pike continues! Big pike don't come easy through the ice during mid-winter in Colorado, however with some hard work and a bit of luck the big fish can still be tricked into feeding. As mid-winter comes along big pike can be difficult to locate and reluctant to feed even when you find them. Seems like the bigger pike are more hesitant to feed during mid-winter yet when conditions are right you can still trick a few into taking an easy meal like a suspended dead-bait. I've watched big pike come in and nose typical dead-baits then quickly loose interest. A quick down-sizing of baits and back down the hole, the same fish came in and instead of just nosing the bait decided the smaller bait was worth eating. So if your standard pike fishing methods aren't working for you when you know you're in the fish, then keep switching things up until you trigger a strike. It only takes one strike to turn a boring day of ice fishing into an unforgettable day on the ice!
