Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike in Middleburgh, NY means exploring the Schoharie Creek watershed. This region provides the kind of weedy, slow-moving water that pike love. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are the peak seasons. Focus your efforts on the creek's backwaters, oxbows, and areas with abundant submerged vegetation. The Schoharie Reservoir also holds pike, although they can be more challenging to locate in the deeper water. A local angler secret is to target areas where smaller creeks feed into the Schoharie Creek; these influxes of cooler water often attract pike. Remember to use wire leaders, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Also, be mindful of water levels in the Schoharie Creek, which can fluctuate dramatically. Pike in this region average a respectable size, with the occasional trophy lurking in the depths. Be prepared for some exciting strikes!
