Northern Pike
While not the first place that comes to mind for pike, Benton City, Washington, offers some surprising opportunities to target Northern Pike in the Columbia River system. The backwaters, sloughs, and weedy areas of the Columbia, particularly around the Yakima River confluence, can hold decent populations of these ambush predators. Spring, just after ice-out (though rare), and early fall are prime times, as the pike are most active in cooler water temperatures. Use large spinnerbaits, spoons, or swimbaits worked around submerged vegetation. A small boat or kayak is ideal for accessing the sloughs and back channels where pike tend to congregate. Be mindful of the regulations regarding pike in this area, as they are sometimes managed to protect native salmonid populations. Check the WDFW website for the most up-to-date information. Pike in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and lure presentations.
