Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in the Cambridge area, you're in luck. The Rum River and surrounding lakes provide ample opportunities to tangle with these toothy predators. Cambridge Lake and other nearby waters in Isanti County are known for their pike populations. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are the best times to target pike. They often congregate near weed beds and shallow bays as they chase baitfish. A local secret is to fish the Rum River early in the season as the pike move upstream to spawn. Use large spoons, spinners, or crankbaits to entice strikes. Alternatively, try fishing with dead bait under a bobber near weed edges. Be sure to use a steel leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this area are generally aggressive, and you might even encounter some trophy-sized fish.
