As the ice clears in lakes throughout the northern Midwest, toothy critters are on the prowl. Northern pike are among the earliest targets for lake anglers. Look for areas with a dark bottom that are are a few degrees warmer than the main lake to attract pike. Marinas are also prime spots as they also warm up quicker. Take an 8-wt. outfit with a baitfish pattern and a few feet of 40-60 lb. fluorocarbon as a bite tippet. Capt. Brian Mezaros of Great Lakes Fly Fishing shows an April Lake St. Clair nothern while the Fishdog looks on.
