Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike around Greenfield, Minnesota, means exploring the numerous lakes and sloughs that dot the landscape. These waters, often connected to the Crow River watershed, hold healthy populations of northerns. Look for weedy bays, shallow backwaters, and areas with submerged timber, as these are prime ambush points for these predatory fish. Spring, right after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target pike as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Fall is another excellent period, as they aggressively feed to prepare for winter. Anglers can find success using large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits. Don't be afraid to experiment with live bait, such as sucker minnows, under a bobber. A good place to start is Lake Sarah, which has a public access point and a reputation for producing decent-sized pike. Be mindful of the regulations, as there are specific size and bag limits for northern pike in this region. Also, always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth.
