Northern Pike Fishing on the Grand River Northern Pike Fishing on Ontario’s Grand River (Hotspots + Bait Guide 2025) If you’ve ever had a northern pike slam your lure, you know the rush. They’re long, mean-looking, and fight like crazy. For me, they’re one of the most exciting fish you can hook in the Grand River. The Grand River is Ontario’s largest inland watershed, covering close to 7,000 square kilometers and home to more than 80 fish species . Pike are definitely out there if you focus on the right spots.

Trout Fishing on Ontario’s Grand River Trout Fishing on Ontario’s Grand River For many Ontario anglers, trout fishing on the Grand River isn’t just a pastime — it’s a tradition.

Rare Underwater Footage: Why a Pike Will Hit Dead Bait I get a small electric thrill with watching a Northern Pike explode from the deep water — and I get even more when the video footage shows it attacking what looks like a, dead bait. At first glance, a dead fish shouldn’t be interesting. But underwater behavior is different and more nuanced than that: scent, silhouette, and timing all combine to turn something still into tasty prey. Using underwater cameras brings in the excitement on how pike hunt. They don’t simply crash in blindly; more often they stalk, circle, and test the bait. A pike may approach from an angle it hides in the shadow, pause to checkout the bait, then commit. That brief hesitation — a predator risking it all for the reward — is exactly what anglers see in slow-motion footage. It’s a reminder that predation is equal in parts patience and power. For anglers, the takeaways are practical. First, don’t dismiss dead bait. Even when it isn’t thrashing,...
