Northern Pike (Esox lucius)
Common Names: northern pike, pike, northern, jackfish
Pike have a very elongated body, with a very long head. They have large eyes near the top of their
head. Pike have very large teeth, which hook backward into their mouth, which helps keep prey
from escaping. They generally have five pores under each side of their lower jaw. Pike are dark green to olive green, with white mainly oval spots. The dorsal fin on the pike is set well back on the body. Pike and muskellunge are similar and often inhabit the same bodies of water, so make certain that you can spot the differences in the two because regulations and seasons are often quite different.


Age and Growth Ranges of the Northern Pike
Pike can be relatively long lived, up to 24 years. In most populations, the females grow faster
and generally live longer.

Tips on Fishing for Northern Pike
Pike can be readily captured in both open water and through the ice. They are strong fighters and make an excellent meal. Some of the best fishing for pike is immediately following ice out. They can be caught by casting or trolling big spoons or plugs, and can also be captured by fishing large spinner baits along weed lines in shallow bays. Using very large minnows in deeper water can be effective in the summer. When filleting a pike take caution to remove the “Y” bone. Many wild game and fish cookbooks feature details of this process.
