Pike at Fletcher's Pond

[stevation]

Hey, I came to Michigan for the first time and I really wanted to catch some northern pike (we don't have 'em out West). I went to Fletcher's Floodwaters or Fletcher's Pond up north, and my brother and I caught about eight or nine pike in two days. We also caught quite a few largemouth bass, a bowfin, and a bunch of pumpkinseed. See the attached picture -- I caught this 28" northern on a mini spinnerbait (green) with my light weight rod and 6 lb test line (with a wire leader). What a fight that was! It was a blast! We caught other pike on green plastic grubs, a diving plug with pumpkinseed colors, large spinnerbaits (mostly white), and a large bucktailed Mepps spinner. The lake was very weedy, and the weedless lures were working best.
