The Irrefutable Truth!

[TJQ]

I was browsing through a recent issue of Field and Stream Magazine, a US based publication, also known the FOX News of Outdoor magazines (.. ok maybe that is a bad example...)

 

I came across an insert on the years Canadian Fishing Regulations.. and lo and behold there is no mention of the imposter "walleye", but only the venerable mighty "pickerel" is mentioned.

 

Hmmfff.. CASE CLOSED

[Headhunter]

Very Cool TJ, but which is it. I grew up listening to Dad calling them Pickerel. His Dad too. In Quebec its Dore, i believe from D'or Oeil, meaning Golden Eye, but not 100% sure of that.

No such thing as pike limits back in the day.

[SmokestackLightnin]

Wow, 7 and half hours from a set of batteries. If my wife had those I would have more time for fishing.

[Joey]

Well thank God that's over

Dore isn't just a Quebec thing. Its the french name for walleye/pickerel. Dore is a colour, golden brown like roasting a marshmallow to perfection (although i like mine charcoal). I find it funny when English people call them Dore and say thats what they are called and get confused when i tell them thats the French word for walleye/pickerel.

It was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Good sleuthing.

Some ideas (and even some people) evolve over 70 years.

I did say "some". Dinosaurs just die out.

[Spiel]

[Fang]

The entire Canadian fishing regulations summarized on 1/2 a magazine page. Wish things were that simple again

[jediangler]

It's from 1941, just keep on living in the past people. If we don't learn from the mistakes made in the past we are bound to repeat them.

[mercman]

they got dore from pickerel beeing golden.. d'or=gold=dore(golden in color)

[aplumma]

Why would you want to call the mighty walleye such a lousy name as "pickerel". I even asked my dog this question and he agrees with me on this point.

If the ministry had confidence in people distinguishing between pike and musky, FMZ 17 would be pike open all year, no limit.

 

 

Pike is open all year in FMZ 17, though there is a limit.
