NORTHERN PIKE FISHING IN ONTARIO AT RAY'S CAMPS

FISHING NORTHERN PIKE

Northern pike feed mainly on other fish, but will attack any creature that wanders too close, including frogs, birds and ducklings. Their aggressive nature makes them susceptible to a variety of lures and live bait rigs. Anglers frequently catch pike while fishing for walleye. Some fishermen consider pike a nuisance, while others relish the strong fight these fish deliver.

TIP:  Be careful when handling pike to avoid being bitten. Their mouths contain many sharp teeth. An oversized landing net and long nose fishing pliers are essential pike fishing tools.

TIP: The brute power displayed by a sizable pike calls for monofilament lines from 15- to 25-pound test.

TIP:  A good place to fish northern pike is in 2-15 feet of water and weedy. Good time is early morning or sun set. 

TIP:  Some popular colours for attracting Pike are Red, Yellow, and silver.
