Chain Pickerel fly fishing . 3-25-07 CATCH AND RELEASE
Ice out Chain Pickerel on the fly. This fish hit right off of some structure. It has something big in its stomach that it has not digested. Fish was still feeding too..maybe they are eggs? Many people give pickerel a bad rap. This is unwarranted..they are a great game fish. Most often this comment comes from people using the wrong gear. Catch and release quickly, and do not grab pickerel with pliers or other objects. Get a Boga and handle it the right way!

No; it’s not.
thats small
Pike/Pickerel. Same thing.
congratulations
The chain pickerel is a species of fish in the pike family. Its range is along the eastern coast of North America from southern Canada to Florida. The chain pickerel has a distinctive chainlike pattern on its sides and its body resembles that of the northern pike.
this is fact…..read up on your species before we trash talk here. I bet where you fish there are many different species you never head of. Ducks and Geese look alike but are different species too…dont be narrowminded folks.
Hard to tell from the video but that looks like a pike not a pickerel. Nice boga grips BTW
In the river where my cottage is, the Ministry of Natural Resources netted a 100 pound musky a few years ago. The river is French River, Ontario, Canada.
nofrillz9 glad to see you know your species. PSH its a pickerel
a pickerel is small species of pike, so of course it looks like a pike
