Northern Pike ice fishing in British Columbia
53 British Columbia lakes on this site have northern pike on record, largest first.

Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General northern pike tips
Northern pike cruise weedy bays and shallow flats; tip-ups with a large live or dead minnow are the classic setup.
This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current British Columbia regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
