Northern Pike
If you're after northern pike near Hawley, Minnesota, you're in the right place. This area boasts a wealth of lakes and flowages that are perfect for targeting these toothy predators. Buffalo Lake is a popular choice, but don't overlook some of the smaller, weedy lakes that are often overlooked. Spring and fall are prime times for pike fishing, as they are most active in cooler water temperatures. In the spring, focus on shallow bays and weed edges as the pike are spawning. In the fall, target deeper weed beds and drop-offs. A key local tip: Many of the lakes around Hawley have heavy weed growth, so be sure to use weedless lures or techniques to avoid getting snagged. Also, always use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. The northern pike population in this region is known for its good numbers and the occasional trophy-sized fish, making it a great destination for pike anglers of all skill levels.
