Long time veterans of North Knife Lake Lodge, John Snodsmith and Jerry Erickson continue to rack up the Master Angler trophies while on their annual pilgrimage to monster fish heaven. These guys have caught thousands of Northern Pike and Lake Trout on North Knife Lake, yet they still get as excited over every fish as if it was their first, especially Jerry "The Pike Slayer" Erickson. "Trout Master" John has lost count of the Trophy Lakers he’s boated over the years but can always be "talked" into another. He landed a 40" "hawg" on the first morning out. Not to be outdone, Jerry followed up with a 42" Northern Pike. Nice going guys!
At the 2007 Arctic Grayling flyout trip to South Knife River, we experienced untouched wilderness, spectacular scenery and great fly fishing on a river you could drink from.
There’s nothing better that watching a giant Northern Pike swoosh through the weeds and attack your fly right after it hits the water.
