Northern Pike
If you're looking for Northern Pike near Rainier, Washington, your best bet is to explore the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Columbia River. These areas offer the weedy, shallow habitat that pike prefer. What's unique here is the potential for encountering some truly large pike, as they have plenty of forage in these fertile waters. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times to target pike. Look for them lurking in weed beds, near downed timber, or along the edges of lily pads. A valuable local tip is to use wire leaders, as pike have sharp teeth that can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon line. Access to these backwater areas is often best by boat, and there are several boat launches in the Rainier area that provide access to the Columbia River and its connecting sloughs. Pike in this region can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds possible. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are all effective lures for enticing these aggressive predators.
