Northern Pike
While Northern Pike aren't native to Oregon, the Nehalem River system presents a unique, albeit controversial, opportunity for anglers. These predatory fish have been illegally introduced to some waterways connected to the Nehalem, primarily smaller lakes and sloughs off the main river channel. Targeting them requires a different approach than the salmon and steelhead the area is known for. Look for pike in the warmer, weedy backwaters and slow-moving sloughs that connect to the Nehalem. Spring, after the spawn, and fall, as water temperatures cool, are typically the most productive times. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and even large streamer flies are effective. Be aware of access restrictions on private land surrounding the river and its tributaries. Launching a small boat or kayak can be beneficial for reaching some of the more secluded pike habitats. Note that some local anglers view pike as detrimental to native fish populations, so responsible and ethical angling practices are essential.
