Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some Northern Pike near Two Harbors, Minnesota? You're in the right place. The numerous inland lakes and rivers feeding into Lake Superior offer prime pike habitat. Focus your efforts in the spring, right after ice-out, when pike are actively feeding in shallow bays and weed beds. As the water warms, they'll move deeper, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Fall can also be productive as pike fatten up before winter. Natural presentations, like sucker minnows or large shiners under a bobber, often work wonders. Don't be afraid to experiment with spoons and crankbaits too. A practical tip: check water clarity, as stained water often holds more active fish. Public access to many of these lakes is available, but some require a small fee. Also, be mindful of regulations regarding size and possession limits, which can vary from lake to lake.
