cagey	Posted: 3/19/2014 11:48:27 AM Reply are you sure you meant northern pike and not pike minnow. as gearbox said, northern pike are not around here. as for pike minnows, Chilliwack lk has a pike minnow derby every year. some of the local members can tell you other places for them if that is what you mean.

cagey	Posted: 3/19/2014 6:33:52 PM Reply thanks for the correction Monahan. Cultis lk is what I meant. old age I guess !

63vette	Posted: 3/20/2014 11:02:11 AM Reply A few years back my buddy caught a Pike on the Columbia and tons of Whalleye.
cagey	Posted: 3/23/2014 6:25:37 PM Reply I saw on a web site that Erie Lake near Salmo has northern pike but then I read an article on the lake and it only mentioned lg mouth bass, brookies and pumpkinseeds. you might want to check further in that area. maybe a call to a tackle shop in Salmo might help you. as gearbox said, there may be some but I have never heard of anything worth targeting after driving for a day !

frank67	Posted: 5/4/2014 5:26:33 PM Reply Charlie Lake close to Fort St. John is probably closest destination to get some trophy pikes and walleys in BC. I'm located in Vancouver but I never regret to go there and have good fishing time. Walleys are taking basically anything similar to worms. For bigger pikes you should set bait to make sure that "hungry smaller water residents won't attack it":-) Camp site on Charlie Lake is simple but always works for me.
