Northern Pike
For northern pike near Kensington, NY, consider venturing a bit outside the immediate area to access more suitable habitat. The Niagara River, a short drive away, offers good pike fishing opportunities. While not as concentrated as in some other locations, patient anglers can be rewarded. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as pike move into shallower areas to spawn or feed before winter. Target areas with weed beds or submerged timber, as these provide ambush points for pike. A local tip: try fishing with large spoons or crankbaits in these areas. Be mindful of the strong currents in the Niagara River and adjust your presentation accordingly. Access to the river can be found at various boat launches and parks along the shoreline. The pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight. Always check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before fishing.
