Northern Pike
If you're targeting Northern Pike in central New York, Sherburne offers a strategic location to explore some quality pike waters. The Chenango River Valley is dotted with lakes and reservoirs that hold populations of these toothy predators. Consider exploring nearby lakes like Lebanon Reservoir or even venturing a bit further to the larger Otselic River. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, just after ice-out, when pike move into shallow bays to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are all effective during this period. Another productive time is late fall, as the water cools and pike become more active before winter. A local tip: pay attention to weed edges and submerged structure, as pike often ambush prey from these locations. Be aware that some areas may have specific regulations regarding pike fishing, so check the NYSDEC website for current rules and restrictions. Also, steel leaders are a must to avoid bite-offs!
