Northern Pike
For the pike angler, Fort Edward, NY, can be a rewarding destination, particularly if you focus your efforts on the Champlain Canal. This historic waterway holds a decent population of northern pike that thrive in the weedy, slow-moving waters. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall are prime times to target these ambush predators. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective for covering water and triggering strikes. Don't be afraid to use large lures, as pike are aggressive feeders. A practical tip is to fish near weed beds and submerged timber, as these areas provide cover for pike to lie in wait for prey. Public access to the canal is readily available, and several boat launches provide easy access. The pike in the Champlain Canal tend to be ambush predators, so retrieve your lure with varying speeds and pauses.
