Various

Looking to tangle with Northern Pike near Norwood Young America? While not as plentiful as in more northern regions, there are opportunities to hook into these toothy predators in some of the local lakes and sloughs. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall are your best bets, when pike are actively feeding in shallower water. Focus on weedy bays, creek inlets, and areas with submerged timber. A local tactic is to use large spinnerbaits, spoons, or even dead bait rigs. Many of the smaller lakes are accessible by boat launch, however, some only provide carry-in access. Be aware of the vegetation density in these smaller lakes, as it can get thick during the summer months. The pike here typically range from 2-5 pounds, with the occasional larger fish exceeding 10 pounds. Always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
