    They are in there, just not stacked up in concentrations.  Woodcock hole and slower stretches with weeds are the ticket.  Many moons ago I got one of the biggest pike I ever caught out of there at the Woodcock hole first day of Musky/Pike on a Suick Thriller.  A 42" pig!

    I fish for them up towards Union City, Catch a few for my efforts, none lately. A 28" fish last year. Supposed to be good around Little Hope. I have not fished that section. I did see one in that area while duck hunting.

    In line spinners work well. You could lose quite a few of them. Creek chubs work, don't forget the leader. Shallow diving rapalas are another option.

    Daredevil spoons work well too.
