Northern Pike
If you're hunting Northern Pike in the Dolgeville, NY area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Mohawk River and the network of smaller creeks and tributaries that feed into it. This region offers a variety of pike habitat, from slow-moving backwaters to faster riffles and deeper pools. Spring, just after ice-out, is prime time as the pike move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall can also be excellent as they feed aggressively before winter. A great access point is the public launch near the Dolgeville Village Park. Be aware that the river can be rocky in places, so wading boots with good ankle support are recommended. Local tip: Large, flashy lures like spoons and spinnerbaits are consistently effective in these waters. The pike here aren't known for being particularly pressured, so you can often get away with presentations that might spook fish in more heavily fished areas.
