Alberta Northern Pike Fishing Guide

Widely distributed throughout Alberta's 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 and Alberta delivers time and time again..

The legendary predator waits, with ragged jaw and calculating eyes, he lurks in the shallow water weeds, just waiting to strike. Then you feel it - the pike's power and skill, equalled only by his fighting spirit. Pike will usually be found in the summer in warm shallow waters of Alberta with lots of weed cover where they easily ambush their prey. The waters of the northern lakes draw those in search of the ultimate pike fishing experience. The season is open year round 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. 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.
