Northern Pike
If you're chasing Northern Pike in northern Vermont, consider Albany as a base. The region's numerous small lakes and ponds, many interconnected by streams and rivers, offer ideal pike habitat. These waters are often weedy and shallow, creating perfect ambush points. Pike fishing in Albany peaks during the spring spawning season, just after ice-out, and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. Focus on areas near creek mouths and shallow bays early in the season. Look for weed edges and submerged timber during the summer months. A local tip: many of these lakes have limited public access, so be sure to research boat launches and shore access points ahead of time. Also, be prepared for some challenging casting conditions due to the dense vegetation. Pike in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs.
