We’re thrilled to welcome back Saskatchewan-based biologist Jeff Matity who has spent years studying northern pike. In this fascinating episode, Matity unpacks the winter habits of pike, revealing how these apex predators use a surprising variety of habitats —they’re not all in the weeds— under the ice. You’ll learn why pike are drawn to specific prey species like ciscoes and yellow perch and how their behaviour can mimic lake trout.
But that’s not all—Matity shares his groundbreaking techniques for catching trophy pike beneath the ice. Using jigs and ciscoe belly fillets, as well as circle hooks and dead-baits, he explains how to revolutionize your approach to ice fishing. If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of northern pike or land the fish of a lifetime this winter, you won’t want to miss this episode!
