Pike Fishing In Northern Canada

If you want to have some of the best northern pike fishing of your life, I have the place for you. A few years back I visited Nakina Ontario in Canada at a fly in lake to fish one week for walleyes and northern pike. This trip is not for your average fisherman. There is no power, and often the only way in or out is by plane. These trips are not that expensive, especially if you buy your food and fly it in with you. Monster pike can be found in many of these lakes since the fishing pressure is not what it is where people can drive too.

The lures and baits you use should be similar to other northern pike lures, as they strike and good sized crank bait, spinner, or spoon. Also, be sure to have a quality rod and reel that can hold a good amount of 10 - 20 pound fishing line. Always use a steel or wire leader as well, since these fish can cut through any normal line.

If you like going for walleye, these lakes also provide great fishing. You can catch 100 walleye a day if you know what you are doing. Check out a search online and find a quality place, since some are better than others. Ontario is a great place to fish, especially the fly in lakes.

On another note, be sure to pack all your equipment, gear, tackle, tackle boxes, lures, baits, as lightly as possible, since there is a limit on how much you can fly in. There are no exceptions so you will have to leave things behind if you are over. You can also opt to have a fishing guide, but many enjoy learning to find the fish on their own, and enjoy the great white north of Canada.

Northern Pike Fishing In the Fall

Northern pike fishing can be some of the best fishing in the world. I want to tell you about some tips and tricks that will help you land more fish. These lures I talk about will help you land more fish than you thought possible. Northern pike fishing lures are normally marketed for them, but the lure I am going to talk about gave me the best day of pike fishing in the fall I have ever had. You are not going to believe the lure I used when going northern pike fishing, but I will here soon enough. This lure has flash, color, size, all the things water wolfs love to chase, but many of us laugh or make fun of this lure. You tie one on and soon you are the laughing stock of the lake or pond, and everyone assumes you know nothing about fishing. Interested to see what I am talking about? First let me tell you about my catch.

I was northern pike fishing at a friends house in northern Michigan. We were catching some hammer handles until I tied these lures on and we started getting some trophy size beasts, as well as still some smaller ones. A one day total of close to 80 fish, and 70 of them all came from this one bait. Crazy, but I have to tell you now what the lure was. The Helicopter Lure. Yea you heard right, that stupid looking bait Roland Martin used to sell back in the day. Pike love it. Hammer it hard and fast. Forget largemouth bass, this lure should be marketed to northern pike fishing fans. I was shocked and amazed, but it all made sense. These baits were perfect for a nice sized pike and were easy to use. I never thought I wold be caught using those in public, but we sure did land some nice fish.

Never just a fishing bait by its reputation, it may work for you that day or that trip, but give it a try, you never know what will happen.

Fishing for Northern Pike in Shallow Waters

Many times we hop in the boat and head out to the deep water and start fishing. This is a mistake, and often times many people overlook the best water next to the shore or in the back bays. This is especially true with Northern Pike fishing. Sometimes walking the shoreline or fan casting in the bays can be the most productive, mainly in the spring. With tricks and tips like these, you should be able to land a monster pike. Selecting lures for pike fishing is not that difficult, since they are very aggressive and will strike many things. A good lure and quality line and leaders will land you a monster pike. You must also have the help of a good pike fishing rod and reel though. These water wolfs are super strong and when they dive into a weed bed you will be sorry. I have never heard any one say they have had a too stiff rod when a monster is on. However, many times people wished they had stronger equipment after a trophy northern pike gets away. Do not overlook the shallow water, often times you can see the fish wallowing around. If you are in a boat, be careful and use a trolling motor and keep your distance. If you catch one, you should move a bit as the water will be all roiled up in the area. The pikes around can spook and might be wary for a bit, but do not worry, they generally will bite again after a while. Good luck and try some of the waters others avoid, you may be surprised at what you can catch.
