Northern Pike, those fabled monsters of cold freshwater lakes, are the stuff of which fishing legends are made. Plentiful trophy Pike cruise the depths of Munroe Lake, but what does it really take to land one?
As our knowledgeable local guides will tell you, it's about knowing where to be and when to be there. Equally important is knowing what kind of lures to use and how to present them to entice a Pike hit.

Our Picks For The Top 6 Fishing Lures
Westin ShadTeez
We've seen Monster Pike strike on the Westin ShadTeez time and time again. Its high body and wide tail make for a rolling action with a flash of light belly that many Pike seem to find irresistible. This lure is lightweight and affordable, so why not experiment with it in a variety of different sizes and colours to see what works best?
Westin MonsterVibe Spinnerbait
With a big skirt, a high-volume silhouette, and a RingTeez to increase action, the Westin MonsterVibe Spinnerbait combines the benefits of several lure styles in one. Create some chaos under the water with this all-purpose lure that will attract plenty of attention and won't get stuck in weed beds. In Westin's words, sometimes it takes a monster to catch a monster!
Rapala Shallow Shad Rap
Try presenting the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, a soft plastic swim bait, over weed beds or other submerged structure to entice a strike from below. This simple, high-performance lure darts from the side when reeled at variable speeds and naturally reorients itself in the water column when paused, a very realistic effect that has tempted and outwitted many a trophy Pike on Munroe Lake.
Rapala Husky Jerk 12
Use a jerk, jerk, pause rhythm with the Rapala Husky Jerk 12 to attract the attention of hungry Pike seeking an easy meal. Lure fishing has never been more satisfying than with this realistic-action jerkbait that can catch fish just as effectively when suspended as when moving. This lure's multi-hook design helps ensure that the big one won't get away!
Huddleston 68
The Huddleston 68 is a highly realistic Pike lure that combines a 6-inch head and body with an 8-inch tail for improved action in the water. We recommend investing in a few of these lures, as they are made from soft plastic that can easily be torn up by sharp teeth after a few (or even just one) aggressive Pike strikes.
Johnson Silver Minnow Or Dardevle Devle Dog
Spoons are one of the most classic Pike lures around for a reason. Durable and flashy, the right one might just provide hours of Pike fishing bliss. Stick with the iconic five of diamonds, red and white, and perch colours, or change it up with Johnson's Silver Minnow or the Dardevle Devle Dog.
What Not To Use
Topwater Spider Lure
Jay Siemens recently experimented with a topwater spider lure on Munroe Lake, with modest success. After watching the video, you can conclude for yourself whether or not this is a lure you'll include in your fishing arsenal.
