Northern Pike
While not a common species, reports of Northern Pike have increased in some of the waterways near Cove, Oregon, particularly in the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Grande Ronde River. These fish are likely the result of unauthorized introductions, but they offer a unique angling opportunity. Spring and early summer (April-June) are the best times to target pike, as they are actively spawning and feeding. Focus on weedy areas and shallow backwaters. Large lures, such as spoons, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits, are effective. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A practical tip is to be prepared for a fight, as pike are aggressive and powerful fish. Due to their non-native status, consider practicing catch and release to help manage the population. Pike in this area are still relatively uncommon, so any catch is a noteworthy event.
