Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike, Gouverneur, NY, offers a variety of options to test your angling skills. The Oswegatchie River and several nearby lakes, such as Sylvia Lake and Pleasant Lake, hold populations of these aggressive predators. Pike fishing is typically best in the spring, shortly after ice-out, when they are actively feeding in shallow weedy areas. Fall is another excellent time, as they bulk up before winter. Look for pike near weed edges, submerged timber, and drop-offs. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Many of the lakes have public access points and boat launches. The Oswegatchie River can be accessed from various points along its course, but be mindful of private property. Pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not uncommon. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as their teeth are razor sharp. Handle them carefully to ensure their survival upon release.
