Summarize the following:
Pike naturally habitat in seasonal climates like the Northern United States, Canada, and countries in Europe and Asia. In North America, pike are often found in reservoirs in Vermont, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Michigan, and the Northern Territories of Canada.  Pike can also be found in countries like France, Germany, and Russia. If you live in warmer climates, you may have a harder time finding pike. If you can’t find pike in the shallows or in deep water, they may be congregating near the inlet or outlet of the body of water that you’re fishing. Find the areas where water flows in or out of your body of water and look for congregating pike. If you don’t find pike near the mouth of an inlet, travel upstream to see if they settled in calmer waters. Pike usually feed in the morning and can be found in open or shallow water. As the day goes on, pike are typically less active and will go after lures less frequently. As the sun goes down and the water starts to cool, the pike will move back in open or shallow water. During the afternoon, you can typically find pike floating near weed beds or swimming in deeper waters. Search online to find fishing stores near where you want to fish. Call them to see if there are pike in the lake or reservoir you plan on fishing. You can also talk to other fisherman to determine if there is a body of water that is abundant with pike. You can search for fishing groups in your area online. Pike’s elongated bodies make them the perfect predators in high grass and shallow waters. Look for pike in areas like bays and flats during the fall and the early spring. Pike are commonly found in high weeds, lily pad fields, or wild rice beds. As the temperature warms up, pike will seek deeper water. During these times it’s best to fish for pike near the center of the lake or reservoir. Pike will typically swim around other pike and can often be found congregating in large groups. If you are trolling or casting in shallow or weeded waters, you may be able to visually identify groups of pike. If you’ve had prior success in an area on a lake or river, try fishing for pike near the same location.
