Northern Pike
While not as widely known, the Cold Spring area does offer some northern pike fishing opportunities. Your best bet is to explore the backwaters and shallower areas of the Hudson River. Pike tend to congregate around weedy areas and submerged structure, where they can ambush prey. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall, when the water cools down, are the most productive times. In the spring, focus on shallow bays and coves where pike are spawning. In the fall, target areas near creek mouths and weed lines. A practical tip: use a steel leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Large spoons, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures. Access to the Hudson River is available via several boat ramps and shoreline access points in Cold Spring. Pike in this region tend to be relatively large, with some reaching impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight.
