Northern Pike
Northern pike in the Woodstock, Vermont area offer an exciting angling opportunity, primarily in the larger lakes and slower-moving sections of rivers within driving distance. These predatory fish thrive in waters like Lake Runnemede (locally called Silver Lake) which offers the classic weedy habitat pike love. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall are the best times to target them. Pike are aggressive feeders, so using large lures such as spoons, spinnerbaits, or crankbaits is effective. Dead baiting with smelt or herring can also produce results. A useful tip is to focus on areas near weed edges or submerged timber. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this region tend to be in the 2-5 pound range, but larger specimens are occasionally caught. Remember to handle pike carefully due to their sharp teeth and always practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
