Northern Pike
Pike anglers visiting Barre, Vermont, should set their sights on the larger bodies of water in the region. While not known as a trophy pike fishery, several lakes and ponds hold decent populations of these toothy predators. The best time to target pike is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Spring brings them into shallow weedy areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are all effective lures. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what the fish are responding to. Local tip: Look for areas with a mix of open water and weed beds. Pike often ambush prey from these locations. Also, a steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Remember to handle pike carefully, as they have sharp teeth and can inflict a painful bite.
