Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike near Stacy, Minnesota, the surrounding lakes and rivers offer some exciting opportunities. While the area may not be known for trophy-sized pike, you can still find plenty of action with fish in the 2-5 pound range. Chisago Lake and the Sunrise River are good starting points. Spring is a fantastic time to target pike as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Dead bait fishing with smelt or sucker minnows can also be productive, especially during the colder months. A local tip: focus on areas with emergent vegetation or downed timber. Pike are ambush predators and love to lurk in these types of structures. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, and always handle pike with care to ensure their survival upon release.
