It attacks its pray in shallow weed beds and swamps, and its olive-brown back and upper sides allows it to camouflage itself. Amazingly, Northern Pike will have varying colours from lake to lake, and even within the same lake, depending on the water, food and genetic strain of the Fish.
The Pike is indiscriminate in what it consumes. Ducks, loons, frogs, whitefish, grayling, lake trout, bait fish, insects, carrion, even family members and pretty much anything that moves, are part of its diet. Its main choices however are yellow perch, suckers, and other soft-finned fish.
