Northern Pike
While Covington, Washington, isn't exactly a Northern Pike hotspot, dedicated anglers can find them in the Black River and its connected sloughs and backwaters. Pike fishing here is a bit of a treasure hunt, requiring patience and a willingness to explore less-traveled areas. Spring, just after the ice melts in higher elevations and the water begins to warm, is prime time. Pike will be moving into shallower areas to spawn, making them more accessible. Another good window is late fall as they fatten up for winter. Access to the Black River can be challenging, with limited public access points. Look for smaller, lesser-known spots along SE 272nd Street or explore the surrounding county parks for potential entry. Be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. A key local tip: focus on areas with submerged vegetation or fallen timber, as pike love to ambush prey from cover. The pike population in the Black River is not particularly large, so catch and release is encouraged to help maintain the fishery.
