Northwest Fishing Reports

Got my season off to a good start today with 2 nice pike boated, we got 5 pike total in the boat all between 23" to 27 " on jerkbaits. My adopted kid got this one the day before New years 43 3/4" His PB. and only his 25th pike ever.

Looks like he started the year off with a beauty!

My goodness, Rick, who needs muskies when we could have an equal self-sustaining fishery of monster pike!!!!
Canada can't produce fat pike like that.

I agree the future of pike fishing here in the N.W. is looking bright if the game dept. doesn't go and screw it up

Canada can most certainly produce fat pike like that. I'll be back there in June and wearing my arms out catching them. Only thing is they'll be post spawn and on the skinny side. One day I'll go after them in October when they're fat and heavy!

Mark, you can save a lot of wear and tear on your arms by just ice fishing for pike.
You buy a can of peas. You drill a hole in the ice. You place a ring of peas around the hole.,
When the big pike comes up to take a pea.....YOU GRAB HIM!

I always thought that's how you catch Elephants?

Sad to say I have not been able to get out and do any pike fishing in the last couple weeks. This weather has all my normal winter Pike waters froze solid!!!
Even the P.O. river below Newport is froze from shore to shore and that I have NEVER seen before in my 25 years of fishing it. It is also froze above the dam from the P.R. bridge to the lake.
I'm up to 11 pike so far this year with the biggest at 9 lbs. for me so far, but with this winter from hell in the last few weeks I don't know when I will be able to get out and fish again.

Well finally got out fishing again, but only managed 2 more small pike so far this spring. A Blue chrome HJ14 was the bait of the day.

Looking forward to contributing to this thread. I live a tad under 3 miles from the Sun Up Bay launch. Hoping to learning a little bit about Lake C'dA over the next couple of decades!!
