Northern Pike
While not as common as other species, targeting Northern Pike near Rainier, Oregon, can be a rewarding challenge for adventurous anglers. The sloughs and backwaters of the Columbia River near Rainier offer suitable habitat for pike, though they are not abundant. The best time to fish for pike is in the early spring, just after ice-out (though ice is rare), and again in the fall when the water cools down. Look for weedy areas, submerged logs, and other cover where pike can ambush their prey. A key local tip is to focus your efforts in the backwaters and sloughs north of Rainier, accessible by boat from the Columbia River. Be prepared to cover a lot of water to find them. Pike in this area can reach impressive sizes, so use heavy tackle and steel leaders to prevent bite-offs. Large swimbaits, spoons, and spinnerbaits are effective lures.
