Pike Fishing May

May18-28
I took two trip’s to do some Pike fishing and cabin building for the first time this season. It was great to get on the river and get some work done. The water is low for this time of the year but recent rain and warm weather should bring the water levels up. We are building a 16 X 24 cabin for our pike-fishing guests and have the building weather tight. I will be insulating and putting the windows in during my breaks in salmon fishing. We fished in the evenings and caught several pike each between 2 and 12 pounds with two pike pushing the 15-pound range. A close friend was fishing the lake with his family as well and they caught well over 100 pike in three days with several fish in the 12 to 15 pound range as well. We saw moose, including a calf less that a week old, eagles, shore birds, beaver, muskrat, and a fox on the trips.
