Northern Pike
Coleraine, Minnesota, is a fantastic base for chasing Northern Pike. The region is dotted with lakes teeming with these toothy predators. Pokegama Lake is a popular choice due to its size and diverse structure, but smaller lakes like Trout Lake and McKinney Lake can also hold surprisingly large pike. Spring, right after ice-out, is a particularly productive time as pike move into shallow bays to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are reliable choices, but don't be afraid to experiment with swimbaits. Tip: Pike in these waters are ambush predators, so focus on areas with thick weed growth, fallen timber, and sharp drop-offs. Be prepared for some intense battles, as these northern Minnesota pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. The Mississippi River also flows nearby, offering additional pike fishing opportunities.
