Come
test your skills against a real fighter, the Northern Pike
Widely distributed throughout Canadian waters, the Northern Pike has
a reputation for long, hard battles on heavy tackle and almost impossible
odds with lightweight gear. It seems that there is always a pike around.
Pike
will usually be found in the summer in warm shallow water with lots
of weed cover where they easily ambush their prey. Pike are prolific
and not technically considered a game fish. The season is open year
round in Newfoundland and Labrador and pike are caught quite easily
through the ice in winter.
Pike
are most often taken by trolling along weed bed edges with large spoons,
plugs and streamers. Casting into weedbeds with live or artificial
baits can also be effective. Many fly casters have taken up "pike
chasing" by wading shorelines using long rods and heavier weight-forward
lines to toss streamers or frog imitations at their prey. All forms
of pike fishing rigs should include a wire leader to withstand the
impact of their razor-sharp teeth. Canadian
Record: 42 lbs. 13 ounces.
