the water in the Chatanika goes from muddy to clear depending upon how much rain and how recent we've had the rain.

Murphy Creek, has tannic acid or whatever it is that colors the water in it, but again depending upon water volume how brown or clear it appears.

All the pike we've taken from there have been toothsome.

Pike out of Lake Minchimuna were good eating too.

but the best I've had was from streams that connect the Ashiak (sp? ) lake chains in Canada. Right before that trip my dad had sent me a box of homegrown tomatoes from MO, I sent him sheep meat in return.

fresh caught Pike outa clear streams, fried potatoes and onions, fresh sliced maters mmmmmm, fit for a king, and even this joker got in on some of that good eating.


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I ate some pike last summer. The ones right after ice-out were actually good. The one I caught in the Kobuk was not!

The pike situation in SC Alaska is so bad that the ADFG regulations make illegal to return a live pike to the water.

Welcome to the fire and thanks for starting on this thread!

You are absolutely correct.

The best news that came out of this first round of pike reduction was the fact the numbers were lower than expected... the fact a few sockeye have survived is just gravy...
