Northern Pike
If you're looking to tangle with Northern Pike in central New York, Richmondville offers some surprisingly good options. The Schoharie Creek and its associated tributaries are your best bet. While not known for trophy-sized pike, these waters hold a healthy population of fish in the 2-5 pound range, with larger specimens always a possibility. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are prime times to target pike here. They'll be actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, creek mouths, and any structure that provides ambush points. A local tip: access to the Schoharie Creek can be found at various road crossings and designated fishing access points, but be mindful of private property. Also, water levels can fluctuate rapidly after rain events, so check conditions before heading out. Pike in this area are generally opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and baits can be effective, from spinnerbaits and crankbaits to large shiners fished under a bobber.
