Northern Pike
While Northern Pike aren't native to Oregon, dedicated anglers around Hillsboro can find them in some of the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Tualatin River. These fish are usually escapees or the result of unauthorized introductions, so locations can be inconsistent, but that makes landing one all the more rewarding. Focus your efforts in the late spring and early summer when the water warms up and pike become more active in spawning. Fall can also be productive as they aggressively feed before winter. Look for areas with dense vegetation and submerged logs, as pike are ambush predators. A helpful tip is to use weedless lures, like weedless spoons or Texas-rigged soft plastics, to navigate the thick cover. Be aware that pike are not officially managed in this area, so check local regulations regarding catch and release, as these rules can change. Respect private property and be mindful of other anglers while you're out there.
