Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Beaver Bay provides an opportunity to tangle with a powerful predator in the unique environment of Lake Superior. While pike aren't as abundant here as in some inland lakes, they can be found in the weedy bays and near the mouths of rivers and streams that feed into the lake. Focus your efforts during the spring and fall, when pike are most active in cooler water temperatures. Use large lures like spoons, spinners, and crankbaits, or try fishing with live or dead bait under a bobber. A local tip: The area around the Beaver River mouth can be a productive spot for pike. Be prepared for potentially rough conditions on the lake, and always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Northern pike in Lake Superior can grow to impressive sizes, making them a prized catch for anglers willing to put in the effort.
