Northern Pike
Looking for some toothy action? Northern Pike in the Ogilvie, Minnesota area are a fantastic option, particularly in the spring and early summer. Focus your efforts on the numerous shallow lakes and backwaters connected to the Rum River. As the water warms after ice-out, pike move into these areas to spawn and feed aggressively. Spinnerbaits, spoons, and large swimbaits are all effective lures. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader, as pike are notorious for their sharp teeth. A local tip: explore the weed beds and emergent vegetation in these shallow areas; pike love to ambush prey from these locations. Also, be aware that some lakes have specific regulations regarding pike size and possession limits, so be sure to check the Minnesota DNR regulations before heading out.
