Atikonak River, Labrador, Canada
World Class Fly Fishing

Northern pike are the ultimate ambush predator, they often remain completely still as they wait for their prey, striking at the last second, with an incredible burst of acceleration.

Northern pike prefer a habitat that consists of shallow weed beds and rocky shoals where baitfish congregate, Labrador's Atikonak system provides just that.

The northern pike in Labrador range in size from 5 to 25 pounds and are abundant. Their predatory disposition, violent takes and screaming runs, make the Northern Pike a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, one afternoon should be devoted to enticing them with popping bugs.
