While known primarily for sheer numbers of pike, Nipissing has a wide range of conditions and forage conducive to growing big pike. Fast-growing pike seem to be the rule here. MNR studies revealed 20-pounders measuring just under 40 inches and less than 9 years of age. Cache Bay near Sturgeon Falls is one of the top pike spots. The south shore, from Callander Bay in the east to South Bay, also holds nice pike, as does the West Arm. Try Muskie Bay, the bays on Oak Island, and the north shore of Warren Bay. The most popular way to catch Nipissing pike is to troll or cast red and white spoons along the edges of large weedbeds.  Lake Nipissing drains into Georgian Bay, which is a part of Lake Huron, via the French River.
