WDFW wants to stop the pike in Roosevelt. You can't make this stuff up.

"Confined to the north end of the.lake" ,is this like ISIS confined?

Maybe bowfishing them after dark in the shallows, their eyes glow just like the walleye ?

Im all for fishing for other species besides the trout family, that gets really old after a while, i wish there were some lakes on the OP that i could catch walleye and pike in, kinda miss that growing up in the midwest !!

If they're invasive and they have a plan which will wipe them out, go for it. This is especially important for the fish downstream. They should open up all fishing for them, to include bowfishing, netting, and spearing.

Bowfishing pike when they are up in the shallows in the spring sounds like it would be a hoot.

That would be freaking awesome!! Sign me up! Would be cool to eat what I shoot as well !

Allright, I have an idea that just may work.  Believe me, you don't want pike to take over a watershed.  It's bad, bad business.  I think if you dropped say, 1000 of these waterproof mug shots into the lake.... the pike would probably just die from starvation as they'd lose any desire to ingest food...... Thoughts on my plan?

Great Idea but maybe a different angle because they are probably use to seeing this....

Whoa.... the similarities are uncanny

Except, I'd vote for the Carp.

The carp has more sense. 

[mrmoskillz]

The carp also smells less fishy

what we need to do is have WDFW manage northern pike.  we can have a special pike punch card, and all kinds of weird rules.  they'll be wiped out in short notice then.

Did some research on the net about Northerns. This will be fun!!!!!!!!!

You guys sure sound anti-pike to me.  Most of the pike are moderates and are nothing to worry about.

Not sure what their political affiliation is for sure, but, pike on pike violence is at an all time high and they're becoming startlingly dependent on social services bait fish feeding stations. I believe these are indicators at a minimum of some deep issues that need addressing before they trans-migrate to a new environment.
