Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some toothy critters near Kimball, Minnesota? You're in the right place for Northern Pike. The numerous lakes and wetlands surrounding Kimball offer excellent pike habitat. Lake Louisa and Lake Koronis are local hotspots known for their pike populations. Spring, right after ice-out, is prime time as the pike move into shallow weedy bays to spawn. Fall, as the water cools, is another excellent period when pike aggressively feed before winter. For bank access, try the public access points on Lake Louisa; a small boat or canoe will allow you to thoroughly explore the weed lines and submerged timber where pike ambush prey. Local tip: large, flashy spoons or spinnerbaits retrieved quickly are effective, especially in stained water. Don't forget a wire leader – pike teeth are sharp! The pike here are generally healthy and can range from smaller 'hammer handles' to impressive trophy-sized fish exceeding 40 inches.
