Northern Pike
While not a traditional pike destination, rumors persist of Northern Pike in the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Middle Fork Willamette River near Oakridge. If you're looking for a unique challenge, exploring these areas could be worthwhile. Focus your efforts in the slower-moving, weedy sections of the river and any connected sloughs. Early spring, just after ice-out in higher elevations (though ice is rare here), might be your best bet as pike become more active for spawning. Large spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and even dead bait fished under a bobber can be effective. Access can be tricky, often requiring a small boat or kayak to reach the most promising areas. Be prepared for thick vegetation and potentially muddy conditions. Given the uncertain nature of the pike population here, consider this more of an exploratory fishing adventure than a guaranteed catch.
