Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in western New York, Scottsville offers some promising options along the Genesee River. This section of the Genesee is known for its slower currents and abundant weed beds, prime habitat for pike. Spring, just after the ice melts, is a fantastic time to target these predators as they move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall is also productive as they feed heavily before winter. Access to the river is available at several points along Route 253, but be mindful of private property. A small boat or kayak can be beneficial for covering more water and reaching prime fishing spots. Pike in this area tend to average 2-5 pounds, but larger specimens are certainly possible. Local tip: Focus your efforts around submerged timber and creek mouths where baitfish congregate. Using large spinnerbaits or crankbaits retrieved slowly through the weeds can trigger aggressive strikes.
