Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in the Chisago City area, you're in luck. The interconnected lakes offer ideal habitat for these toothy predators. Chisago Lake, in particular, is known for its pike fishing. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Try trolling large spoons or crankbaits along weed lines or casting bucktails and spinnerbaits in areas with submerged vegetation. A local's secret is to focus on areas near creek inlets or outlets, as these tend to attract baitfish and, consequently, pike. Public boat ramps are available, but be mindful of shallow areas and submerged hazards, especially in smaller lakes. Pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
