Northern Pike
For Northern Pike enthusiasts, the waters around North Troy, Vermont, present a worthwhile, if somewhat under-the-radar, pike fishery. Several smaller lakes and ponds in the area, as well as slower sections of the Missisquoi River, harbor populations of these ambush predators. Spring is prime time, as the pike move into shallow weedy areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective for targeting them in these areas. Fall can also be productive as the water cools and pike feed aggressively before winter. A local tip is to focus on weedy bays and areas with submerged timber. Many of the smaller lakes have limited public access, so research boat launch locations beforehand. The pike in this region tend to be on the smaller side compared to more famous pike fisheries, but you still have a good chance at landing a respectable fish, and the scenery is hard to beat.
