Northern Pike
The smaller lakes and backwaters near New Trier, Minnesota, can provide surprisingly good Northern Pike action. Overlooked by many, these often-shallow and weedy waters offer ideal habitat for pike to ambush prey. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target pike here, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for weedy bays and areas with flooded vegetation. Early fall can also be productive as the water cools and pike become more active. A simple spinnerbait or spoon retrieved through the weeds is often all you need. Public access can be limited, so be sure to research access points before you go. A canoe or kayak can be advantageous for reaching secluded areas. Keep in mind that these pike can be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure sizes and colors. Many anglers have luck with large, flashy lures that trigger aggressive strikes.
