Northern Pike
While not a primary fishery, Prineville Reservoir does hold a population of northern pike. These predatory fish were illegally introduced, but are now a part of the ecosystem. Targeting pike can be a unique and exciting challenge. Spring and early summer are the best times to find them in the shallows, especially around weed beds and submerged timber. Large swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures are effective for attracting their attention. Focus your efforts in the coves on the western side of the reservoir. The boat launch at the Prineville Reservoir State Park provides good access to these areas. Pike in Prineville Reservoir range in size, with some individuals reaching impressive sizes of over 10 pounds. Be prepared for aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Be aware that because they are an illegally introduced species, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife encourages anglers to harvest any pike caught in the reservoir.
