Grand Anglers

Ive heard alder lake in New Dundee has pike from a local... said it was a few years back though. I know a huge carp die off happened (did not affect the bass,sunfish, etc, "apparently") so that shouldnt affect pike if they are in there..? does anybody have confirmation there are?

I am 14 and looking for a good pike spot in Kitchener or the area within 1 hour drive. Any size pikes are good. Ive been in the area for almost 3 years and I dont have a steady pike spot yet other then lakes that are heavily pressured and only produce fish once in a blue moon. Oh and dont forget all the poachers ruining my spots!! I am a catch and release angler looking to catch a new PB pike and I never keep fish to eat unless its a nice smallmouth up north. Any info is helpful!!! I also wouldnt mind if you would be willing to share walleye spots too as my PB is an 18 inch walleye.
