Northern Pike
Looking for some toothy critters? Bovey, Minnesota, is prime northern pike country. The area's numerous lakes, including the larger ones like Pokegama, are teeming with pike. These fish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around weed beds, submerged timber, and rocky points. Spring, right after ice-out, is legendary for pike fishing. They're shallow and aggressive as they prepare to spawn. Fall is another excellent time, as they bulk up before winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't forget a steel leader! A local's secret: try trolling large sucker minnows in the deeper basins during the fall. Pokegama Lake has several public boat launches, but be aware that it can get windy on this larger lake, so check the forecast before heading out. The pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a battle.
