I recently found out there’s northern pike in the creek I normally trout fish in, so I was wondering what, if any, flies are good for catching pike. Also can I still wade, or will the pike try to bite me

I’ve swam in plenty of lakes and rivers with pike in them and have not been bitten once

You’re more than likely the apex predator in that system.
If there are pike like that, a barbless 6″ deceiver would work well. You’ll need a wire bite guard. Fluorocarbon doesn’t work anywhere close as well.
Longer strips with pauses will get their attention.
Consider upping your handling game. If you keep doing what you’ve illustrated in the photo, you’re gonna kill more than a couple.
