Solid fish, nice work.. Not many reports out of that section of river. Whats the biggest you guys have landed?

Thanks guys..skunk I added you to that page that has pictures of some of the pike me and my buddies have caught..I haven't caught any "big mommas" like the ones you catch but I'm gonna keep trying! Just got an intEx inflatable raft with trolling motor so I should be able to start hitting some prime spots without having to hike! Only thing left to get is a fish finder.

Skunk, thats the same area I fish. I got a couple big ones out of there. Biggest was 40 inches 6 years ago. Thats when absolutely nobody was fishing for Pike in that stretch. Last year I got the 37.5 just upstream from where this spot is. Average size seems to be 20-30 inches down low with some big ones mixed in, just hard to come by.

That's awesome that the fishery is that established up there. I remember when I landed my 38.5, did a quick Google search to see if I could find the estimated age and it was approx. an 18 year old fish. Shows you guys have been getting love from the state for a long time .
