Northern Pike
Targeting Northern Pike around Kennewick, Washington, offers a unique freshwater experience in the Columbia River basin. While not as abundant as in some northern states, the sloughs and backwaters of the Columbia and Snake Rivers near Kennewick hold surprisingly large pike. Focus your efforts from late fall through early spring, as cooler water temperatures bring these predators into shallower areas to feed. Look for them around weed beds, submerged timber, and rocky outcroppings. A local tip: the area around the confluence of the Yakima River and the Columbia can be productive. Use large swimbaits, crankbaits, or even dead bait rigs to entice strikes. Be prepared for a fight, as these pike can be aggressive and powerful. Access is readily available via several boat launches along the Columbia, including Columbia Park. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for pike, as these can vary.
