Not sure what the walleye are up to in Canada in June, but you will always be able to find pike in the weeds. June is still a little cooler further north, so the bigger fish should still be active and not have moved into deeper summer haunts yet. Target weed edges and weed beds and adjust your bait to suit the structure you're fishing. Big single or double blade bucktails are hard to beat for fishing weed edges. When fishing deeper in the weeds, switch to a large bass spinnerbait or but some pike/musky spinnerbaits from one of the musky shops. Big fish eat big baits, so don't be afraid to throw something like a Lindy M&G Spin or Ruff Tackle Rad Dog. If you're gonna fish the slop, check out J-Mac pike/musky jigs and throw a Lunker City Salt Shaker on the back. If you're fishing outside the weeds or around structure like timber or rocks, minnow baits will work just as well as spinnerbaits or bucktails. Big Rapalas, Big Bombers or the smaller sizes of musky minnows like Cranes or Slammers are good. Spoons are another option, but don't overthink it. Choose your bait according to the structure you're fishing, cover water, make good casts and as many as possible without getting fouled in the weeds and you will catch pike.
