This discussion is steered toward drive-to Â­public-access waters in the US and southern Canada, places that offer good ice fishing opportunities for large pike. West. Fort Peck Reservoir, MTâArguably the Â­current kingfin of American trophy pike waters, Fort Peck is loaded with pike topping 20 pounds. Little fishing pressure compared to its large size. Ice fishing begins in late December. Access at Rock Creek, Duck Creek, or Hell Creek, and fish major points near the mouths of creek arms.
Big northern pike eat large fish and a lot of fish, and so fish managers long thought that an abundance of northern pike would limit panfish numbers, preventing the stunting common in many lakes. As in Horseshoe Lake, stocking northern pike to control panfish can backfire. In fact, we have little evidence that an abundance of northern pike (or muskie) can prevent a proliferation of small sunfish. Apparently, sunfish are too prolific and too adept at hiding in thick cover to be controlled by northern pike.
