Ok folks I wanna make a point here I keep hearing people refering Walleye as Pickeral they are tottaly diffrent fish .
Here is the difference a Pickeral is very closely related to the Pike or even more closer to the musky . THE PICKERAL http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...Y/pickeral.jpg THE WALLEYE http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...OY/Walleye.gif THE SAUGER http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...ROY/sauger.jpg The Northern Pike http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...rthernpike.jpg The Musky http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...NROY/Musky.jpg |

NO !!!!
Ok now I got it all covered next yall will say it looks like a Bass or something. |
Thank you! I've won so many bets and been in so many arguments over this one. No one believes me until I actually go online and prove it.

Another one I hear often is people calling rocky mtn whitefish grayling.
I have a pard from down east who is insistant that walleye are truely pickeral.Even after showing him the difference,he says he's right.It's always good for a campfire conversation over a few drinks. |
Here in Mb, a lot of us call walleye pickeral or even yellows. We know the correct name is walleye but we learnt the other names from our older generation and we are comfortable with whatever we call them.

Incase you didnt realize, we arent all morons.
Most of us who say that realize that they are reffered to as Walleye. I call them pickeral because it reminds me of back home. Walleye is to American for me:tongue2: If you wanna get picky, we could say "walleye" is wrong because the real name is Sander Vitreus. Walleye is a name for Sand Vitreus, is it wrong? Nope, is Pickeral wrong? Nope. |
Hate to disagree but it is not Sander Vitreus, it is Sander vitreum if that new name was adopted. Used to be called Stizostedion vitreum.

i don't know about that seems to be a few morons on here as well as a few jack*****es. were can you catch sauger around edmonton?

When it comes to common name (ie. pickerel), no one can really be wrong - lots of fish go by different names in different regions. Many people call Sander vitreus a pickerel, but lots of people out east call Esox americanus a pickerel. |
I know most lakes have a zero limit for Walleye. But what is limit for Pickeral?:huh:

A few spots on the NSR around Edmonton I fish were you will likely catch Sauger long before a Walleye shows itself.
Actually very, very common around the Edmonton stretches... |

But if I am watching da slave lake ballett den da are la gy'ant picker-al's and thats my story if you don't believe me I will get crocodile McPike to tell you all about it:tongue2: |

I know the older guys seem yo call them pickerel. Oh well.
Why is it that calling a walleye a pickerel bothers some people. But it's ok to call Lake, Brook and Dolly Varden trout? |

As far as I know, there are two types of pickeral, grass pickeral and chain Pickeral.
The other spiny dorsaled critters related to the perch? You can call 'em what ya want - I call them TASTY!!:lol: Cat |
As someone mentioned above, "Common Names" are really never right or wrong.
And the use of common names will always have the danger of creating confusion. Like if I am planning a trip to the mountains to hunt "goat" and you tell me that last year you shot a really nice "goat" and I say where abouts and you say Brooks area. Seems a lot of people say "Rocky Mountain Whitefish" or "Rockies" and I think the common name is usually just "Mountain Whitefish" New common names get created for some reason. "Yotes" and "Whities" and "booners" and "hogs" I like to call them "Walleyes" but my favorite meal is "Pickerel cheeks". Robin in Rocky |
Why are Pike called jacks ,or hammer handles, slough sharks , slimo's ???
I think pretty much most Alberta angler's know walleye aren't pickeral , but speaking for myself , out of respect for my dad and grand dad ... they are indeed pickeral !! |
Here's another species for all. SAUGEYE, A cross between a Walleye and a Sauger. Lower White Lobe on tail is "usually" present, same coloration as a Sauger. Dorsal also displays the spots as the Sauger. However Regulations consider this under its "mother" species, the Walleye....
Alot of the rivers that contain both species of Sauger and Walleye are starting to have more of the the cross species being caught.... PS: This one had pic taken before being released:) :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...rorWalleye.jpg |

tchow why do you say this? "However Regulations consider this under its "mother" species, the Walleye...."
Most hybirds are not fertile and so they do not reproduce. The big saugeye you caught would have been a good one to eat. It is most likely not going to spawn and add to the population of sauger or walleye. It is just a fish living in the river and eating stuff and occupying a spot that a walleye or sauger could be in. I'm sure that Fisheries Management would have no problem with any harvest of saugeyes. I doubt if an enfocement officer would charge you for an undersized walleye as he would then have to supply proof it is a walleye (and it isn't). I used to catch a lot of sauger in the NSR around Edm. but never looked close to see if any were saugeyes. Nice pic by the way, of a nice fish, a happy angler and a nice section of river valley.
