Some of Colorado’s most popular ice fishing lakes for trout also hold some bigger toothier predators. So next time you’re gearing up for some fun-filled Colorado ice fishing for trout try putting together a larger rig with some beefier leader and big enough lures and baits to tempt a larger beast. If you’re sight fishing through the hut and see a big pike come passing through, you can quickly drop a larger rig and try to seal the deal with a lure large enough to create a strike from a bigger pike. As we all know the stories of big pike coming on small trout jigs through the ice, this is more the unusual event than the norm. So larger jigging Rapalas, bigger tube jigs, swimbaits, and soft-plastics, along with some larger dead-baits are a good start for putting together a bigger predatory rig for pike. You won’t see a big pike come passing through the hut every day, but when you do you’ll be ready!
