Northern Pike
If you're chasing trophy Northern Pike, Squaw Lake, Minnesota, should be on your radar. This lake, nestled in the northern part of the state, is known for its relatively shallow, weedy bays, perfect for pike ambush points. The best time to target these toothy predators is during the spring opener after ice-out, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Fall is also productive as pike aggressively feed before winter. For shore access, try the public access point on the lake's western shore; it offers decent casting opportunities. Remember that Squaw Lake's pike tend to be ambush predators, so large spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits worked along weed lines are your best bet. A local tip: Pay close attention to water temperature, as pike activity often spikes with even slight warming trends.
