you think pike will hit big surface flies?

how far do you have to cast?

Yeah for sure, pike love big flies!
From shore you need to cast a fair distance, but you can always get in the water, in which case you'll need to cast only 20-30 feet.

what time of year did you guys hook these fish?

These were all caught in May and June. While there are still pike around at this time of year, most have moved to cooler, deeper water. Fishing is tough at the end of the summer becuase the prime fishing areas are now covered in heavy weeds. If you go this week, look for deeper water. Pike and bass are often hiding under the sailboats on hot days.

Pike fishing is open right now in Toronto, but closes for the Month of April and opens the first Saturday of May. The fishing should be good right up until July if the weather is right.

what bait do you use?

I can clearly see a mepps #3 black fury in it's mouth, but perhaps this lure is unfamiliar to you..

Toronto Islands 2004

While researching shore fishing opportunities in the Toronto Area, we took the ferry across the harbor to the Toronto Islands. There we found plenty of weed beds and structure capable of holding fish. It wasn't long before we discovered a pattern and started catching Northern Pike almost non-stop.
