Fish and Game Monitors Panhandle Northern Pike Populations

Northern pike are a popular sport fish for Northern Idaho anglers. But pike are also a voracious predator that potentially could impact other fish species, if not kept in check. That is why Idaho Fish and Game biologists keep regular tabs on northern pike populations in various Panhandle Region lakes. A new video posted on the Fish and Game website shows how anglers help with northern pike population surveys through Fish and Game's "Tag You're It" program. The video also includes a demonstration on how to fillet a pike, which makes excellent table fare. The video is available at https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/content/pike-video
