mostly cattails want to get some lillies though
Never figured out why people call walleye pickerel either, weird. We used to do well years ago at Waubeshene for pickerel, they're aggressive like pike for spoons & bushwhackers, pariculary yellow.I did. And Pickerel is a common misnomer for Walleye, I grew up calling Walleye, Picks. And I still do at times, but Walleye and Pickerel are like apples and oranges. 2 different things. It doesn't really matter what country you are in. A true Pickerel is related to a Pike and Musky and has the same "duckbill" A Walleye is related to the Perch and looks like a big Perch with teeth.
All that I am trying to say is that what everyone calls a Pick is not a Pick in reality. As I said before, go to the MNR regs and look for Pickerel seasons and limits. You won't find them, you will find Walleye however.
I'm not good with computers or I would post pics. If you are catching Pickerel in Quite, I would suspect they are Walleye and if you are catching them near Sarnia then they are definitely Walleye. I'm from Sarnia and have never seen a Pick there in 40 years.
I know Walleye will continue to be called Picks, I'm only trying to put the truth out there.
When I go to a restaurant and order Pickerel Diner, I know I am getting Walleye.
