Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some toothy critters? Greenwood Lake is known for its robust Northern Pike population. These predators thrive in the lake's weedy shallows and deeper ambush points. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall are the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, but don't overlook dead bait rigs fished near the bottom. A steel leader is a must! A practical tip for fishing Greenwood Lake for pike is to focus on the northern end of the lake, where there are extensive weed beds and shallower bays. The state boat launch on East Shore Road provides good access, but can get crowded. Be prepared for some exciting strikes and hard fights, as Greenwood Lake pike are known for their aggressive nature.
