Northern Pike
Dellwood's numerous lakes and wetlands offer excellent opportunities to pursue northern pike. These predatory fish thrive in the weedy environments found throughout the area, particularly in lakes like White Bear Lake and smaller, less-known bodies of water. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as pike become more active with cooler water temperatures. A key to success in Dellwood is identifying areas with dense vegetation, such as weed beds, lily pads, and submerged timber, as these provide ambush points for pike. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are effective lure choices. For boat access to White Bear Lake, the public access on the southwest side is a convenient option. Keep in mind that pike have sharp teeth, so use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Dellwood's pike population is healthy, with the potential to catch trophy-sized fish. Focus on areas with baitfish activity, as pike will often congregate in these locations to feed.
