Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in Central New York, Manlius provides a good base for exploring nearby pike waters. While not necessarily a renowned pike destination, the area's access to various lakes and rivers offers opportunities. Oneida Lake, a short drive away, is a popular choice for targeting pike. However, smaller, weedy lakes and slow-moving sections of rivers closer to Manlius can also hold some surprises. Spring (after ice-out) and fall are prime times for pike fishing here. Pike are ambush predators, so focus on areas with plenty of vegetation, such as weed beds and lily pads. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective for covering water, while jerkbaits and swimbaits can entice strikes from larger fish. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Be aware of local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as well as any specific restrictions on certain waterways.
