Fish & Game wanted non-native, highly predatory pike out of Lake Davis
If you’ve ever experienced an insatiable urge to freeze your ass off ice fishing for stocked trout, then this story will make you very, very happy. From the Redding Record Searchlight:
Even though frozen over, fishing has resumed on Lake Davis, fisheries biologists with the Department of Fish and Game said.
…
Last month, DFG planted more than 31,000 Eagle Lake trout from its American River Hatchery, ranging in size from one-half pound to more than three pounds, into Lake Davis. Additional plantings of nearly 1 million trout are planned later this year.
Lake Davis was closed and poisoned to remove illegally introduced Nothern Pike (biologists didn’t want them spreading downstream to the California Delta).
Let’s hope they got all the pike this time; I doubt the political will exists to close and poison the lake a third time.
See you at Lake Davis, Iceholes…
