Northern Pike and Muskies

    Northern pike and muskies provide
    some of the most exciting fishing of all
    freshwater fish.  These fish bite with
    more aggression than any other
    freshwater fish.  They have a long,
    powerful body with razor-
    sharp teeth.  They are known for making long runs, especially when
    they see the boat.

    These fish are most common in the northern states and in Canada,
    however, they can be found throughout the Midwest also.  Northern
    pike are easier to catch.  They will attack a lure numerous times until
    they are finally caught.  Muskies are difficult to catch.  They are known
    as the fish of 10,000 casts.  It might not take you 10,000 casts to catch
    one, but it gets the point across that it's tough to catch muskie.  After
    you learn more about how muskies feed, you should be more
    productive, but that doesn't mean that you aren't going to get skunked
    every once in a while.

    Northern pike and muskie are found in the same waters, but you will
    usually not see good populations of both species in the same lake or
    in the same areas of the lake.  Northern pike usually dominate in lakes
    or rivers where they are both found.  Pike spawn earlier than muskie
    and this allows the pike fry to be large enough to eat the muskie fry.  
    When lakes are being stocked with muskie, it is common to stock lakes
    that have small populations of pike.  If a lake has large populations of
    pike, it will be very hard for the muskie to reproduce in large numbers.
