History & Status of the Fishery
Lake trout were fairly abundant, and fish as large as 30 inches were collected. Most of the lake trout collected ranged from 20 to 25 inches, and most were eight years of age or older. All (with the possible exception of one fish) had been produced naturally. Lake trout growth had been about average for the area. Smallmouth bass were present in fair numbers. Only large, old (age 7-9) smallmouth bass were taken. The catch of northern cisco was low for this lake historically, and for lakes of this class. Northern cisco in this lake are a dwarf variety, and most may not have been catchable in the sampling gear used.Readers should be aware that fish catches reported in the standard lake information report for West Pike Lake in 1996 are for shallow gill net sets only, and do not include the catch in deep gill nets set to sample lake trout. The combined catch in deep and shallow gill nets in 1996 was:Species Number/net Average weight (lb)Burbot 3.42 1.29Lake trout 2.75 3.84Smallmouth bass 0.58 1.69Northern cisco 0.17 0.07White sucker 4.17 2.33
