Northern Pike
While not known as a pike hotspot, Kenmore, Washington, and the surrounding waters of Lake Washington offer a chance to tangle with Northern Pike. The Sammamish River, which flows into Lake Washington at Kenmore, is a key area to focus on. Pike often lurk in the weedy areas and backwaters of the river, ambushing prey. Early spring (March-April), just after the ice melts (if any), and late fall (October-November) are the best times to target them, as they are more active in cooler water. A local tip: Use weedless lures, such as spinnerbaits or weedless swimbaits, to navigate the thick vegetation. Also, be prepared for a fight; these pike can be aggressive and put up a good battle. Pike in Lake Washington aren't huge, averaging 4-8 pounds, but they are present and offer a unique fishing opportunity in this urban environment. Be mindful of other boaters and kayakers when fishing the Sammamish River.
