Northern Pike
Highland Falls, with its proximity to the Hudson River and surrounding lakes, offers a chance to tangle with Northern Pike. While not as abundant as in some other areas of the state, Pike can be found in these waters, particularly in the spring and fall when water temperatures cool. Focus your efforts in areas with plenty of submerged vegetation, such as weed beds and lily pads. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective for attracting these ambush predators. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be productive. Be prepared for a strong fight and use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Check the NYS DEC regulations for size and creel limits. Access to the Hudson River is available at several boat launches in the area, but be aware of the tides and currents. Lake Popolopen is also worth exploring for Pike.
