Ontario Northern Pike Fishing

Come test your skills against a real Ontario fighter, the Northern Pike
Widely distributed throughout Ontario 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 most regions of Ontario 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.
