Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
Looking for some toothy action? The lakes around Burtrum, Minnesota, offer good opportunities for catching Northern Pike. These ambush predators thrive in the weedy waters of central Minnesota. Early spring, right after ice-out, and late fall, just before freeze-up, are peak times to target pike. During these periods, they're often found in shallow bays and along weed lines, actively feeding. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are classic pike lures. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs! A local tip: many of the lakes in the area have good populations of panfish, which serve as a primary food source for pike. Therefore, lures that imitate panfish can be particularly effective. Also, be prepared for some explosive strikes and powerful runs. The pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to bring a net and some pliers for safe handling and hook removal.
