The Irrefutable Truth!


TJQ

Recommended Posts

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

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

 

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.

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

 

LOL.. you've been around here long enough to know that that simply is not true.

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.
