Northern Pike
While Northern Pike might not be the first species that comes to mind when you think of Washington State, the sloughs and backwaters near Lynden offer surprisingly good opportunities. The Nooksack River delta and associated waterways create ideal pike habitat with plenty of submerged vegetation and shallow, weedy areas. Spring, just after the ice melts (if any), and fall are the best times to target these aggressive predators. Focus on areas with thick weed growth and slow-moving water. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is essential, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Access can be tricky in some areas, so a small boat or kayak can be advantageous. Be aware of private property and respect posted signs. Pike in this area tend to be ambush predators, so target areas where they can easily hide and strike. Be sure to check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific rules regarding pike fishing in the Nooksack River system.
