Pike fishing is open year round on Lake Of The Woods. As the ice melts and warms in the bays, the Nothern Pike move in to spawn. It's a great way to get an early start on your fishing season in Minnesota. I fished 3 days and used a white ZMan Jackhammer with an X Zone white swammer paddle tail. I caught many pike in the upper 30's. My best day included two (2) Trophy Pike over 40 inches. The pike were in shallow water which was warmer than deeper areas. They also preferred underwater reeds and cat tail areas.
