These out of the way fishing holes have very little angling pressure as well as strong populations of walleye salmon which serve as a mainstay food source for larger pike.  Abundance of food, large lakes, little angling pressure and catch and release tactics are the perfect recipe for catching trophy pike.  As proof Ontario has shown to produce 40 and 50 pound pike in the ....
