Northern Pike
Northern Pike fishing near Derby Line offers a thrilling experience in Vermont's freshwater systems. Lake Memphremagog, with its expansive weedy areas and varied depths, is a top destination. Pike thrive in these cooler waters, and you'll find them ambushing prey around submerged vegetation and rocky points. Spring, particularly right after ice-out, and the fall months are prime times to target these predators. As the water cools, pike become more active and aggressive. A local's secret: try trolling large, flashy spoons or crankbaits along the weed lines in the northern part of the lake. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding pike size and possession limits in Vermont, as they are actively managed to maintain a healthy population. Using a steel leader is a must to prevent bite-offs from these toothy critters.
