Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some northern pike near the Twin Cities? Eden Prairie offers several options for targeting these toothy predators. Riley Lake and Staring Lake are good starting points, offering a mix of shallow weedy areas and deeper water that pike favor. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as pike are more active in cooler temperatures. During the spring spawn, focus on shallow bays and backwaters. In the fall, target areas near drop-offs and weed edges. Access is generally good, with public boat launches and shoreline fishing opportunities available. A steel leader is essential, as pike are notorious for their sharp teeth. Local tip: Pike in Eden Prairie often respond well to large, flashy lures, such as spoons and spinnerbaits. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves until you find what works. Expect to find pike in the 2-5 pound range, with some larger specimens possible.
