That fast-moving bastard Singlebarbed beat me to this one, so I’m going to cut his gruel allowance by half.

Still, the story’s worth reporting; Fish & Game published the results of the lake-wide poisoning of Lake Davis (another attempt to remove the Northern Pike). From Singlebarbed:

Results of the poisoning were also published, 50,000 pounds of dead fish were recovered after the lake was treated, 6% were pike, 80% were bullheads, less than 1% were trout.

Yow. Lots of pike. But damned few trout. Let’s hope they got all the pike this time. Any wagers?
