Northern Pike
While not a typical destination for Northern Pike, persistent anglers might find them in the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Umpqua River near Drain, Oregon. Pike are not native, so consider this a very niche pursuit. The best time to target them would be in the early spring or late fall when the water is cooler. Look for weedy areas or submerged timber where pike can ambush prey. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are good lure choices. A key local tip: focus on the slower-moving sections of the Umpqua and its tributaries, particularly areas with dense vegetation. Be aware that access can be limited in some areas, so scouting beforehand is recommended. Pike are not common in this region, so any catch should be reported to ODFW. Given their rarity, practicing catch and release is highly encouraged to help manage the local ecosystem. Always check ODFW regulations.
