Northern Pike
While not a Northern Pike hotspot, Dansville, NY, does offer some limited opportunities to target these ambush predators in nearby waters. Conesus Lake is probably your best bet; focus on the weedy bays and shallow areas, especially during the spring spawn and again in the fall as the water cools. Silver Lake, a bit further west, might also hold pike. Pike fishing is generally best in the early morning or late afternoon, when they are most active. Use large spoons, spinnerbaits, or crankbaits to entice a strike. A local tip: wire leaders are essential when targeting pike, as their sharp teeth can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon line. Also, be prepared for a fight, as pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. While you might not catch a trophy pike, the thrill of the chase can still be rewarding.
