Northern Pike
If you're hunting for Northern Pike in Western New York, the waterways around North Collins offer some surprisingly good opportunities. Zoar Valley, with its Cattaraugus Creek tributaries, is a prime spot. The 'Catt' is known for its steelhead run, but don't overlook the pike that lurk in the slower pools and backwaters. Spring, just after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target them as they move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall is also productive as they feed heavily before winter. For shore access, try the public access points along Route 240 near Gowanda; be prepared for some hiking to reach the best spots. Also, remember that water levels in the Cattaraugus can fluctuate rapidly after rain, so check conditions before you go. Local tip: big, flashy spoons or spinnerbaits work well in the stained water.
