With such a divers habitat consisting of connecting lakes, rivers, weedy bays and rocky points, our water system is a nursery for not only high populations of Northern Pike but big trophy Northern Pike. They are common in the 24 to 30 inch ranges but many bigger trophies are caught and released all summer.
Some of the more interesting fish that were caught recently:
• 48 inch - 30 pound pike
• 44 inch - 26 pound pike
• 42 inch - 25 pound pike
• There are many more pike caught in the 30 to 41 inch ranges.
The best time for pike fishing is from May, when the camp opens, to mid July. Whitefish Lake, Shikwamkwa River, Hawk River, Outline Bay and Monitowik Lake are the best producers during this time. After that, we direct our guests to fish some of the satellite lakes in the area, which are better pike producers in late summer. Pike are caught as shallow as 1 foot and as deep at 20 feet.
