This lake had a great largemouth fishery 3 years ago as well as large bluegill and crappie. Then in 2018, all we can catch are northern pike, and I mean plenty of pike! Never caught a pike prior to 2018. Sadly, this lake is over ran by northern pike and I fear without intervention, this could spell disaster for Erickson Lake.
