Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing in Kittitas County isn't as widely known as some other species, but Potholes Reservoir holds a healthy population of these toothy predators. This large reservoir provides ample habitat for pike, with its extensive weed beds and submerged structure. Spring, after the ice melts, is an excellent time to target pike as they move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Early mornings and late afternoons are often productive. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are effective lures. Pike can also be found near the numerous canals and irrigation ditches that feed into the reservoir. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Boat access is crucial for effectively targeting pike in Potholes, and several boat launches are available. Be prepared for windy conditions, which can make boat handling challenging. While not as abundant as in some other regions, the pike in Potholes Reservoir can reach impressive sizes, offering a thrilling angling experience.
