Pike now exist in practically every type of water, even live in brackish areas of the Baltic Sea.
actually the low salinity brackish areas, like the baltic, as far south as the swedish 'scheren'coast in the southeast, is part of the natural range AND habitats of pike (Esox lucius). Further north in the baltic, you'll find increasingly more freshwater species, as the salinity goes down when going north -- freshwater rivers flowing in, and the only salt source being the sea farther south. I'm sure a similar salinity gradient is present in the Chesapeake bay.
