Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some serious Northern Pike? Lewiston, NY, situated right on the Lower Niagara River, offers fantastic opportunities. The Niagara's current, coupled with numerous eddies and backwaters, creates ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Prime time is spring, as the pike move into the shallows to spawn, and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Look for them around weed beds and submerged timber. A practical tip: focus your efforts near the mouth of the Niagara River where it enters Lake Ontario; the mixing of waters often holds a concentration of baitfish, attracting pike. Also, be prepared for some serious current – use heavier lures and consider drift fishing techniques. The Niagara River pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure your tackle is up to the challenge!
