WHAT is A PICKEREL7
Answer: A Pickerel Is Always a Pike;
Pike Is Never Pickerel

"The season for pike and pickerel fishing
is now at hand" said fisherman, land the
question confronting the angler for these
fresh water sharks is, What is a pike and
what is pickerel?
CAS- a matter of fact, pickerel is always
a pike. but pike is never pickerel. But
which is which?
"The pike is never pickerel, that is, in
this country. According to good piscatorlai
authority in England, where there is but
one species of the pike family, the ilsh are
classified and named according to age and
condition, as salmon are.
0The Young pike, or those that have, not
vet come to the weight of more. than three
or four pounds, are known as plekerel, Just
as a cock under a year old is called cock
ereI When the fish has gained the dignity
of four or five pounds of weight it is called
a lack, and it is not entitled to the name
of nike until it has taken on size enough to
be 10pounder. c.
specimens of the pike family, ranging from
the little grass or brook pike that plays
hob with trout streams in many LOCALITIES,
up to the giant denizens of the larger lakes
and certain rivers, the muskallonge and
great northern PIKE, lie cliel ,heelh
member of the family being the hsh long
popularity known as the pickerel.
"When our old world ancestors came over
here they brought along the three different
classifcations of the pike family, which IN
time came to be applied to our various
species Unfortunately, and there has al
WAYS been a confusion of nomenclature re-
garding them. The name jack has chung to
the fish in Virginia and the south, where
there is but the one species. A pickerel. In
our country therefore is not a young pike,
nor is Jack pike that has got well along
toward full pikeship, for it never gets any
further in that direction.
'The pickerel is always pike, but the
pike is never a pickerel, as matter OF TACT,
but which is which? For time out OF mlnd
the yellowish or greenish -hued fish, accord
inc to the waters it inhabits, with the more
or less and always irregular black network
markings on its sides, a narrow, slim body,
a fierce eve and an alligator-like head and
laws. and with an extreme weight OF about
eight hounds, has been known as the pick
erel and accepted as such; while the fish
of similar build, but without the reticular
markings, and growing to length OF often
four feet and a weight of 40 pounds or
more has been known as the pike.
''There are few mountain lakes, together
with their outlets, which do not contain
the fish popularity known as the pickerel,
the Esox reticulatus of the naturallsts.
Specimens of this fish 20 inches in length
are the exception in a catch of pickerel in
any of these lakes The Esox lucius, as sci
ence names the pickerel's big relative, has
ever had the popular name of pike In the
Great Lakes. Boston Herald.
