Northern Pike
While Oregon isn't exactly known as a pike hotspot, Junction City offers a few sneaky opportunities for anglers targeting Northern Pike. Focus your efforts on the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Long Tom River and Fern Ridge Reservoir. These areas, particularly where vegetation is dense, can hold surprisingly large pike. Spring, just after the ice melts (though rare in this region), and early fall are prime times, as pike are actively feeding before and after spawning. A practical tip: Access to the Long Tom River can be found at several bridge crossings and county parks; look for areas with slow-moving water and plenty of cover. Be prepared to use weedless lures, like spoons or swimbaits, as the vegetation can be thick. Pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with lure size and color. Keep in mind that pike are not native to Oregon, so check local regulations regarding catch and release.
