If there’s one thing that Red Dead Online does best, it’s creating not only a thriving community of active players but engrossing them in a world that lives and breathes as closely to the wild west as they’ll ever get. One way players are exploiting the wilderness is by foraging and hunting for food and supplies to sell or craft with.
Quite possibly one of the most coveted in these parts though is that of a fish; the Northern Pike. This elusive water creature can be found though and caught, but you just have to know where to look. So, let’s talk about all of those Northern Pike fishing spots in Red Dead Online!
Red Dead Online Northern Pike Fishing Spots
When it comes to getting your hands on a Northern Pike, before heading to any of the fishing spots, you’re going to want to make sure that you’ve got the proper gear to do so. While the compendium that you own says that River Lures are an angler’s best friend when it comes to the Northern Pike, some Worm Bait will do just fine.
Once you’ve got all that, you can go ahead and begin skulking around for Northern Pike. Due to their size and fondness for running water, you’ll actually be able to find the Northern Pike up in, you guessed it, rivers that run in the northern part of Red Dead Online’s map.
