[cool][#0000ff]One small pike does not constitute evidence of a major population. Since it did not have a return postage address on it there is no way to be sure that it was either a naturally spawned youngun or a bucket bozo delivery.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My gut feeling is that if they were unsuccessful in establishing a notable population...even with help from DWR...there is little likelihood of them suddenly exploding all over the lake.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]However, as long as lake levels remain higher, the water clearer and the shoreline reeds and structure full and healthy...well, pike like that stuff.[/#0000ff]
