TJQ Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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..

mercman Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umKthxbye Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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. 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.

aplumma Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
