Rizzo Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 thanks for the update. Glad you at least got into a couple!
GBW Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 please keep all the pike you want. Yes! FMZ17 pike is open all year as they are invading so yeah please keep and eat all pike (no matter the size)
Tom McCutcheon Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 31 pike is what balsam has to offer. The tiger muskies are legal. Muskoka is a different game a 40 is a little small and they are like rice bass they don't suffer fools. June on balsam is crazy for walleyes. My guys have booked 4 days in a row. I'm in the money. I'm not sure what you mean by legal....They are classed as a Muskie and follow the same size limits and possession limits as a Muskie. Just pointing this out in case some read it the wrong way..

GBW Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 40 inch pike is also not a small fish He means pike are invasive in FMZ17 and open all year round so keeping all of them no matter the size is a good thing. Musky and Tiger Musky fall under the standard Musky rules. Please keep all the pike you catch for a feed. Check out the annual Balsam Pike Fest...
Garnet Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 No tigers are classed as tigers and fall into the pike half of there life. We phoned from Balsam .
Tom McCutcheon Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 No tigers are classed as tigers and fall into the pike half of there life. We phoned from Balsam . News to me. Every MNRF Biologist I have ever talked to has said they were to be classed as a Muskie because the maternal parent was a female Muskie. I'm not saying your wrong, but it is something that I will do more research on to get a definitive answer. Leave it with me and I will get back with some information.
