warwin125:
just wondering if you guys are catching any pike

Drifter_016:
I generally don't target pike as I'm more of a laker guy.
So my pike catches are limited, accidental and sadly small.    :-[

Doop:
Just out of curiosity...are there outfits up there that take pike fisherman out during the winter?

I've been interested in going up there pike fishing for a long time....just no knowledge of where to go really.

I have all the gear...including snow machines....wall tent...that type of stuff.  Just curious.

i would suggest late march early april for targeting the big pike. the days are warmer/longer and the big girls seem to be a little more on the bite. i usually fish shallow that time of year, 8-20 ft of water. usually can pick up at least one 25lber every other time i'm out, and my best through the ice a couple of years ago was 38lbs. the big ones usually go back in unless gut hooked.
if you have a map of gsl it would help. i fish in amongst the islands in the north arm maybe 5km from yellowknife bay. if you take the kam lake snowmobile trail straight out towards the big lake it puts you right in the heart of big pike country when you reach great slave. it's actually not that far from trout rock lodge as the raven flies.
 drill some holes and drop a cisco down, you should be into pike. the action isn't usually fast and furious, but i have caught fifteen in an afternoon on occasion.
make sure you bring an auger extension, even though it's been a super warm year there i still bust through after the extension joint is in the hole, maybe 40"-45" of solid ice.
cheers
