Why Northern Pike are not introduced to central Illinois
Just wondering why Northern Pike are not more prevalent in central Illinois lakes such as Evergreen where nice Muskies are and Bloomington where Muskies reside but are not as numerous. My reasoning is due to them being aggressive feeders that could help relieve the stunted fish situations that arise at both lakes from time to time taking out the 1,000,001 8.75" and allowing the others to go to 12-14" range. They are also excellent excellent on the dinner table with a mess of nice crappies. Any thoughts. If they can survive in the Kankakee River don't see why they would not do good in other areas
And with that, I'll see you on the water...
