Northern Pike
If you're after northern pike near Grasston, Minnesota, you'll find plenty of opportunities in the area's numerous lakes and rivers. The Rum River and the Snake River, along with the many smaller lakes, offer ideal pike habitat. Spring, right after ice-out, is prime time, as the pike are actively feeding after a long winter. Focus on shallow, weedy bays and backwaters. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective. As the water warms in the summer, pike tend to move to deeper water near weed edges. In the fall, they return to the shallows to feed before winter. A local tip: the Rum River State Forest offers access to several lakes and the Rum River itself, with opportunities for both boat and shore fishing. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The pike in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a fight.
