Good work thinning the herd even if just a little. The guys I know that still guide the upper end of the system say they are beginning to get out of control up there. Might be time for a trip up there with some big bucktail spinners and swimbaits.

Best lure I used was a Johnson silver minnow with a double mister twister tail. Weedless and very effective.

Lots of bones in pike and lots of slime. Look on YouTube for how to Ybone them.

Excellent eating but YES, you have to YBone them. Easy though.

Another way to do the small ones (under 24") is to scale them, fillet, turn skin side down and slice through the meat to but not through the skin at about 1/4" intervals. Deep fry or sautee, the small y bones dissolve in the hot oil. This was my favorite way to eat chain pickerel when I was a kid in NH, my favorite of the species available from shore to a kid on a bike. The whole family preferred them to trout, bass and other panfish. White, firm tasty flesh.

We used to slay Northerns back east with weedless daredevils in the lilypads.

At a public meeting in Jackson a while back, a guy asked the Wyoming Game and Fish to put the district wildlife bio in charge of mosquitos, since he'd done such a good job on the deer and elk.Heck if they want to get rid of them {pike} let the WDFW manage them :chuckle: :chuckle:

I am looking where to collect the bounty...there is a 50 fish ( $500 ) limit. I filleted it and lots of weird bones. The cats loved the scraps better than walleye. Hope to get more in the next few days.Flyer says $590 limit, is that a misprint?
