Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing near Westminster, Vermont, is best focused on the Connecticut River. While not a pike hotspot, the river does hold a population of these aggressive predators, offering a fun challenge for anglers. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them. In the spring, pike move into shallow weedy areas to spawn, making them easier to locate. In the fall, they feed heavily to prepare for winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A local tip: focus on areas with dense weed beds or submerged timber. Pike are ambush predators and prefer to lie in wait for their prey. Consider targeting the backwaters and slower-moving sections of the river. Public access points are available along the Connecticut River near Westminster, but be mindful of private property. Also, Vermont fishing regulations apply, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the current rules regarding pike.
