How to fish it · for Pike
When
Pike are ambush-feeding from weed cover. Fry and small perch concentrate in the warm shallows, drawing pike in during low-light periods. Mid-day pike retreat to deeper weed channels.
Where
Summer pike on the fly. Fish early (first light) and late (last hour) when pike push shallow to feed. Topwater is king — poppers and gurglers over weed beds. Mid-day fish hold deep in weed channels. Take a break during the heat of the day. Use a 9-10wt rod with a stiff butt for turning big fish away from weed.
The plan
Plan A

Summer pike on the fly. Fish early (first light) and late (last hour) when pike push shallow to feed. Topwater is king — poppers and gurglers over weed beds. Mid-day fish hold deep in weed channels. Take a break during the heat of the day. Use a 9-10wt rod with a stiff butt for turning big fish away from weed.

Plan B

If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Boat — drift

A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A good match for Hara & Burnett Lakes — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.

About this water

Hara and Burnett Lakes are remote, lightly-fished far-north camp water — pike in the weedy bays, lake trout over the structure, grayling in the connected water, and walleye through the system. Untouched Shield wilderness for the angler who wants big fish without a crowd. Streamers for the pike and lakers, dries for the grayling.

Under the surface

The Hara and Burnett Lakes area is a remote, lightly pressured far-north fly-in camp fishery offering northern pike, walleye, lake trout and Arctic grayling. Classic untouched Shield water — weedy pike bays, rocky laker structure and connected grayling water — the kind of low-traffic wilderness destination that suits a Rise Daisy remote-profile entry.
