Lake Minnetonka Northern Pike
Lake Minnetonka has a great northern pike population. In a recent DNR lake study, “Lake Minnetonka lacks the small hammer handle fish”. Most fish sampled were between 20 -29 inches. Many 3-5lb fish can be caught and it is not uncommon to land a fish over 30 inches long. These fish can be found throughout the lake from the shallows to the deeper weed lines.
