Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing near North Adams, MA, requires a bit of dedication, as they aren't as widespread as bass or trout. However, Cheshire Reservoir, a short drive from North Adams, is known to hold some decent-sized pike. Focus your efforts in the spring shortly after ice-out and again in the fall as the water cools. Pike are ambush predators, so target weedy areas, drop-offs, and points with large spinnerbaits, spoons, or swimbaits. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Be aware that pike in this region can be somewhat pressured, so experiment with different lure retrieves and colors. A boat or kayak is highly recommended to cover more water and access prime pike habitat. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on pike activity in Cheshire Reservoir.
