Northern Pike
Chasing northern pike in Angle Inlet? You're in the right place. This region of Lake of the Woods is renowned for its trophy pike. The key is understanding seasonal forage patterns. In the spring, focus on shallow, weedy bays where pike ambush spawning baitfish. As summer progresses, they'll move deeper, relating to submerged structure. Fall is prime time, with pike aggressively feeding before winter. Use large lures like spoons, spinnerbaits, or crankbaits to trigger strikes. A practical tip: target areas near current breaks or where the water color changes, as these often hold concentrations of baitfish and, consequently, pike. Be prepared for some serious battles – these northern Minnesota pike are strong! Several resorts and public access points offer convenient launching spots.
