Catch the big Northern Pike

Younger and smaller northern pike spend time in shallower water near reeds and lily pads and other cover. They eat bugs, frogs, minnows and other small food. Medium sized northern pike will usually be near the outskirts of these areas feeding on other small fish.

The really big pike eat walleye, chub, whitefish, and even trout, and they will hang out where they can ambush these fish. Places like rocky shoals, islands, and mouths of streams and rivers are great places to catch big northern pike.
