Northern Pike
If you're hunting Northern Pike in the Southbridge area, you'll want to focus on the Quinebaug River and its associated ponds and slow-moving sections. This river system offers the weedy habitat pike love to ambush prey. Spring, right after ice-out, is prime time as pike move into shallow areas to spawn. Fall is also excellent, as they aggressively feed before winter. A practical tip is to access the river from the numerous bridge crossings and roadside access points along Route 131. Look for areas with submerged vegetation, fallen logs, or sharp drop-offs. The pike in this region aren't known for exceptional size, averaging 2-5 pounds, but they can be plentiful, and a lucky angler might hook into a larger specimen. Be prepared for heavy cover and bring weedless lures; spoons, spinnerbaits, and large soft plastics are your best bet.
