Northern Pike
While Washington isn't exactly known as a pike hotspot, the Chehalis River near Cosmopolis offers a unique, if challenging, opportunity to tangle with Northern Pike. These fish are relatively recent arrivals and haven't yet reached the trophy sizes seen in other regions, but they are present. Focus your efforts on the sloughs and backwaters off the main Chehalis channel, especially during the cooler months from late fall through early spring. Pike will be staging to spawn in the early spring. Look for areas with submerged vegetation and structure, as these provide ambush points. Be aware that the Chehalis can be prone to flooding, so check river levels before heading out. A small boat or kayak can be beneficial for accessing these secluded areas. Remember to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Consider launching from the public boat launch near the confluence of the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers to explore the lower Chehalis system.
