mattyk Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Out fishing Balsam Lake for musky today an caught several nice largemouth on big spinner baits. Then i get one on and think its a musky, but to my surprise its a pike (and yes i can tell the difference betwen a pike and a musky). It was about 26-28 inches. I hate to see the pike spreading into balsam. Edited July 2, 2007 by mattyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehg Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 The MNR is thinking of stocking the Kawarthas with Georgian Bay strain muskies to possibly co-exist with the encroachment of pike. It would be nice to see the pike pic if possible anyways. Welcome back to Ontario! ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hmmm - Pike not good for the Kawarthas. Opinion only. Can someone post a link or something to the MNR talk about stocking pike? I find that troubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 We've got relatives with a place on Balsam. They told us already a couple of years ago there were pike in there, but now I've seen the photographic evidence. Here's hoping you kept it!
