my new chain pickerel! : )

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just a question here referring to pikes and pickerel.

my understanding was grass pickerel were just a flat coloration no pattern, chain pickerel had a rectangular CHAIN pattern?

and i also thought that pikes and pickerel were synonomous but they are infact different?

grass pickerel have more of a lighter, vertical pattern, chains are darker and have golden rectangles runing horizontal, and northerns look similar to chains, except they have lighter color and less rectangles and sometimes have a small redish tint to their fins

Out of the Pine Barrons and by the looks of it that is a pickerel. Northerns and Pickerel are different for sure. I have stocked my pond with Pickerel so I assume they will take 75 degree water however they are typically a cooler water fish. Mmmm you have me thinking about mixing them with P Bass.

Anybody know if you can convert them to krill or frozen?
