Northern Pike Esox lucius are a highly invasive fish species that can significantly reduce fish densities and cause large-scale changes in fish communities. Northern Pike pose significant threats to the Columbia River ecosystem as a result of predation and competition for food resources. In addition, they may pose an extinction risk for sensitive species. The increasing observations of Northern Pike in Lake Roosevelt prompted the Lake Roosevelt co-managers (Colville Confederated Tribes, Spokane Tribe of Indians, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife) to implement surveys to investigate abundance, diet, growth, origin, spawning locations, and movement patterns. Aggressive removal plans have been designed and are being implemented in the upper reaches of Lake Roosevelt and Kettle River.
The goal of the project is to suppress Northern Pike in Lake Roosevelt watershed and to prevent them from spreading further downstream in the Columbia River system. The co-managers will use a multi-teared approach that includes mechanical removal techniques, angler incentives, and limited monitoring and research.
Effective 10/1/2026 (FY27) Colville and Spokane will split into separate projects. 2017-004-00 will be renamed Northern Pike Suppression and Monitoring- CTCR. A new project 2017-004-01 will be named Northern Pike Suppression and Monitoring- STOI.
