Northern Pike
Newport, Vermont, offers some excellent opportunities for targeting northern pike, with Lake Memphremagog being the premier destination. This expansive lake is known for its healthy population of pike, some reaching impressive sizes. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for pike, as they move into shallower water to spawn and feed. Try fishing with large spoons, spinnerbaits, or live bait near weed beds and submerged structure. A local's insight: Pike in Lake Memphremagog can be found in both the main lake and in the more weedy bays, so explore different areas to find where they're holding. Also, be prepared for a fight – pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Make sure you have the appropriate tackle, including a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
