Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike near Troutdale, Oregon, presents a unique and exciting freshwater fishing opportunity. While not native, Pike have established themselves in the Columbia River system, and the backwaters and sloughs near Troutdale offer ideal habitat. Spring, after the spawn, and fall, as the water cools, are the best times to target them. Look for weedy areas, submerged timber, and areas with current breaks. Pike are ambush predators, so large lures like swimbaits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are effective. Steel leaders are essential to prevent bite-offs. A good access point is the Sandy River Delta, though be prepared for some walking to reach the prime pike habitat. The Pike in the Columbia River system can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight! Be sure to check Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations regarding Pike, as there may be specific rules or encouragement to harvest them to protect native fish populations.
