Angling for Some Northern Pike

By: Molten Marketing

Northern pike, a species of fish found all over Saskatchewan's bodies of water, is an interesting fish. This particular swimmer is quite the attacker, and is therefore well known as an easy catch by many anglers. You see, they are apt to bite at pretty much everything, so northern pike are susceptible to fishermen's hooks.

In most cases, northern pike are a smaller variety of fish, even though there have been cases where larger northern pike have been spotted or caught. Reproduction occurs in the spring, when the water is still cold but not blanketed by ice. When they do lay their eggs, it is by the thousands, and mere weeks later, there are many more northern pike swimming around.

In the beginning of life, a northern pike may choose vegetation, but they soon turn carnivorous, seeking out other fish for meals. Northern pike have extremely sharp teeth, but when they strike at prey - which more often than not occurs as a surprise attack - it is interesting to note that they rarely chew the fish; rather, they simply swallow large pieces.

Speaking of northern pike prey, it is not only other fish that this species will devour. Rather, northern pike will take what they can get, and if that means frogs and leeches, then frogs and leeches it is. Since these creatures have slick bodies, northern pike likely find that it is easy to swallow the large pieces after their teeth have made preliminary cuts.

So northern pike are likely to eat anything that swims, slithers, or hops their way. With a predilection for hanging out in darker, weedy areas, they are able to not only reproduce in safety, but also hunt for prey largely undetected. In Saskatchewan's freshwater, northern pike are a fisherman's delight, so check out the shallow waters and bring any bait you wish.
