Northern Pike
Northern Pike in the Castile, NY area? Silver Lake is your best bet. While not as widely known as some other pike fisheries in the state, Silver Lake holds a population of these toothy predators that can provide some exciting action. Spring, just after ice-out, and late fall, as the water cools, are the most productive times to target pike. Look for them in shallow weedy areas where they ambush prey. A practical tip for fishing Silver Lake is to use weedless lures or rigs, as the vegetation can be quite thick, especially during the summer months. Spoons, spinnerbaits, and large swimbaits are all effective. Also, remember to use a wire leader, as pike have razor-sharp teeth that can easily slice through monofilament or fluorocarbon line. The pike in Silver Lake aren't generally giants, but you can still find some respectable fish in the 5-8 pound range. Be prepared for some aggressive strikes and thrilling battles!
