Blue Pike.
\nWhere are they now?……. Did they just……disappear? There has been a
\nlot said and a lot of studies and explanations, and it still baffles Fishermen.
\nState and Federal Biologists are still trying to decide exactly what happened.
\nThe stories on these pages are not compilations from other websites, it is
\nfactual accounts from area anglers and others.  "Blues" were once
\nnative in Lakes Erie and Ontario as well as a huge abundance in the Niagara
\nRiver. The information and stories on these pages might just enlighten some of
\nour visitors to what happened. There has been much research through the years by
\nmany on this subject and several stories on other websites. Our information was
\ncomplied from area fishermen and USFWS Information as well as NYS Sea Grant
\nAssociates. There have been reports of blue pike being caught today but these
\nfish are explained as being a "blue phase" of the yellow pike or
\nwalleye. There are many of these blue colored fish that are caught in Lake Erie
\nand  many more northern Canada lakes, notably Lake Nippissing in northern
\nOntario and the Ottawa River, on the Ontario\/Quebec border.<\/font><\/p>\n
