Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike near Avoca, NY, you'll need to venture a bit further afield to find suitable waters. While the immediate area lacks major pike fisheries, consider heading to Waneta or Lamoka Lakes, about a 30-40 minute drive from Avoca. These lakes offer shallower, weedy areas that are ideal pike habitat. Spring, after the spawn, and fall, as the water cools, are the most productive times to target them. Look for pike lurking around weed beds, docks, and submerged timber. When fishing these lakes, a practical tip is to use large, flashy lures such as spinnerbaits, spoons, or swimbaits. Vary your retrieve until you find what the pike are responding to. Be sure to use a steel leader, as pike have sharp teeth that can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon line. Public access and boat launches are available at both Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, but be aware that they can get crowded, especially on weekends.
