Home | Travel & Leisure | Outdoors Northern pike are typically fairly small, although it is not entirely unheard of to catch one weighing in the double digits. These fish tend to reproduce in the springtime, in cooler waters than summer provides. Northern pike females lay tens of thousands of eggs at a time, and soon the hatchlings are on their own. When they are newly hatched, northern pike feed on weedy meals, but that does not last too long, as they soon turn to other fish and water creatures as the snacks of choice. With their pointy, sharp teeth, it is not hard for them to quickly latch onto their prey. Interestingly, though, northern pike do not take their time chewing, as they prefer to simply slice apart a few pieces and swallow the whole thing. Of course, other fish are not the only ones who serve as meal tickets for northern pike. They will eat pretty much anything they can find, including slimy choices like frogs or leeches. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that northern pike are, again, less likely to slowly feast and more likely to cut their prey into a few bites and devour them. So northern pike are likely to eat anything that swims, slithers, or hops their way. With a predilection for hanging out in darker, weedy areas, they are able to not only reproduce in safety, but also hunt for prey largely undetected. In Saskatchewan's freshwater, northern pike are a fisherman's delight, so check out the shallow waters and bring any bait you wish. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
