Northern Pike
If northern pike are on your target list near Mayfield, NY, Great Sacandaga Lake is your best bet. This large reservoir provides ample habitat for these ambush predators. Spring and early summer, after the ice melts, is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow weedy areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for them lurking around weed beds, submerged timber, and near drop-offs. The northern section of the lake, with its many bays and coves, is particularly productive. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. One local tip is to try fishing during periods of overcast weather, as pike tend to be more active under these conditions. Be prepared for some exciting battles – the pike in Great Sacandaga can grow to impressive sizes!
