Northern Pike
While not a prime northern pike destination, anglers near Yelm, Washington, can find limited opportunities for pike in some of the area's sloughs and backwaters connected to larger river systems. These areas aren't widely known for pike, so finding them requires some focused exploration. Look for sluggish, weedy areas with plenty of cover, as pike are ambush predators. Early spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and late fall, as the water cools, can be the most productive times. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are good lure choices. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Given the limited population, practicing catch and release is strongly encouraged to help sustain the fishery. Before targeting pike, thoroughly research local waterways and regulations to ensure you're fishing legally and ethically. Check with local tackle shops for any recent reports or tips on specific locations.
