Northern Pike

Season

Pike has a split season, beginning in March through June and again in September through December.

A prehistoric predator.

Ohio is at the southern extent of the northern pike native range so populations are localized and mostly restricted to Lake Erie and northern rivers.

Historically, the Division of Wildlife stocked northern pike into lakes across Ohio, but in 1991, the northern pike stocking program ended so all northern pike fisheries are now maintained by natural reproduction.

​

The Northeast quadrant of Ohio is the Southernmost range of the mighty Northern Pike. Guides Josh McQueen and Pat Kelly will take you in their rafts and jet boats to remote stretches of river where very few humans venture.

In fact, you will typically see more bald eagles than you will people. And certainly, they are going to show you some great pike-on-the-fly action!
