Northern Pike
While not traditionally known as a pike hotspot, the waterways around Cave Junction, Oregon, offer a unique opportunity for targeting Northern Pike. Specifically, focus your attention on the Applegate River and its sloughs and backwaters. While populations aren't as dense as in the Midwest, the pike that are here can grow to impressive sizes, thriving in the warm, weedy environments. Spring is arguably the best time to target them, as they move into shallower areas to spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are effective choices. Don't overlook using large streamer patterns if you're a fly angler. Access can be limited, so look for public boat ramps and access points along the Applegate River. Be aware of submerged timber and other structure, as pike love to ambush prey from these locations. Because this isn't a heavily pressured pike fishery, you might find the fish are less wary than in other areas, but don't underestimate their predatory instincts.
