I will be in the Missoula and Flathead Lake area next week for a family reunion.  I have never fished for kokanee or northern pike in this area and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where to go.  I appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks

Unfortunately, the resident expert, pmpete, passed away unexpectedly earlier this year.  I would recommend searching flathead lake in the search bar.  Make sure you go to the home screen before starting your search.  Look for posts from pmpete.  He wrote tons of posts regarding that lake/area and included lots of details.  People fishing that area should definitely take a look at his posts.

Taking nothing away from what one can learn on this fine forum, you could also research bait and tackle shops in that area and visit them when you arrive.  They'll have the most up-to-date information.
I expected the worst, but it was worse than I expected...

Pmpete had pointed out to me a few years ago the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on the Mack Days event at Flathead Lake.  https://mackdays.com is their website which might have some information.  A lot of effort is going on to restore the Bull Trout in the Clark Fork River Basin and Kootenai River Basin.  They have a Flathead Lake fishing guide that would help you.

Seeley Lake was one place I remember him going to fish for pike and lake trout,  not sure about kokanee.
"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own,
and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."
