Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike near Sumner, Washington, presents a unique challenge, as they aren't as common as other game fish in the immediate vicinity. However, with some effort, you can find pike in the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Puyallup River system. These areas often hold warmer water and plenty of forage fish, which attract pike. Early spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and late fall are prime times, as pike become more active in cooler water. Use large lures like spinnerbaits, spoons, or swimbaits to entice strikes. Focus on areas with thick vegetation and submerged timber. A word of caution: Be prepared for toothy critters and use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Pike in this area are not particularly abundant, so consider it a bonus if you land one. Remember to handle them carefully to ensure their survival after release.
