Mudflap Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello Don; I was fishing a local haunt west of RedDeer the other day and noticed 4 larger pike in what I thought was a "trout" stream. Do pike feed on browns? I caught one small one on a streamer and released it. As I did I had the following running through my head.. Throw him in the willows? as to not eat browns.. What do you suggest? By the way there were a total of 8 trucks parked there on Saturday.......everyone seems to have the itch around RedDeer. Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdB Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I would think a pike would feed on most anything it could get it's mouth around wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Mudflap, There have been pike there since forever. Some very good ones. If I recall correctly, the pike season is open. They make decent eating. Don't think that they effect the population much although they certainly eat trout. I've seen one catch a trout that I spooked upstream. Wasn't a pretty sight. But that's nature. Sometimes you are the grub! PS - I was there Friday before the herd. Caught a few trout. catch ya' Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tako Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Pike = native. Broonies = invasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
