Northern Pike

Biologists with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe will resume gill netting efforts this spring to reduce northern pike numbers in Windy Bay, Benewah, Chatcolet, Round, and Hidden Lakes. In cooperation with the Idaho Fish and Game, the project aims to reduce pike predation on native, lake-run cutthroat trout in select areas of Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Avid anglers reel in one of the biggest pike they've ever caught while ice fishing in the Panhandle. The ice fishing experience will be one these anglers will never forget. "What an exciting moment to watch my son catch his largest pike." said Mike Nunemacher. 

Biologists with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe will resume gill netting efforts beginning March 16 to reduce northern pike numbers in Windy Bay, Benewah, Chatcolet, Round and Hidden Lakes. In cooperation with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the project aims to reduce pike predation on native, lake-run cutthroat trout in select areas of Lake Coeur d’Alene.
