It was discussed with a friend who is a CO. Bear in mind that, although unfortunate, it depends on how "one interperts the Regulations". Our Sportfishing Regulations is a "condensed" version and complete ones available with F&W Offices.
Perhaps its better that it has to be recognized to the Walleye parent. Size restriction would be inforced pending on Zones. Experienced Anglers would be able to recognize the differences between the three but there's alot out there that don't. The fish in the pic was easily a legal fish. Chances were it being a Hen and there has not been any hard evidence of Saugeye being a Sterile fish. A pic was good enough for me.... I was on a 2 day trip there and caught lots of fish. Had some for dinner and had my PB of 12 lb 6 oz Eye which was also released:) |

What do you mean by this Sniper? Who is the 20 year old just out of college? |
The odd C.O.
Or , I guess it could be an older C.O. |
the difference is simple, sportsmen call them walleye, farmers call them pickeral.
durrr...hut... |
TChow, thanks for the pic. Very cool. That is what made this post worth scrolling through. I didn't hear of the cross until your post here. Nice size too ;)

So many species are incorrectly identified.
I picked up a Redhorse Sucker while fishing for Rockies. The trailer-park jury showed up to watch the battle, then oood and aaad over the 'rare species of carp' I had caught. Caught a large Sauger once and a simiar crew of rookies told me I had caught an albino walleye. Often in southern Alberta, any pike over 15 pounds is referred to as a 'musky'. I have heard Lake Whitefish called carp. Cut-throat trout classified as juvenile Rainbows. And the list goes on. |
Thanks!
I for one did not know what the difference was and as a young guy I caught way to many "Pickeral" that really were Walleye. Baptiste Lake was full of them and we abused that! To this day I won't fish intentionally for Walleye for that reason. I was one of the reasons for the shortage of them and it taught me a lot about conservation and sportmanship!

walleye
"Walleye is too American."
Hope I don't get in trouble for this but... That's the stupidest thing I've read on here in awhile. |
Is it realy????????? NO WAY! :lol:
Its nice to see you brought something intelligent to the debate! Or lake-thereof.... |
pickerel/walleye
In Ontario, most folks over 50 refer to them as Pickerel, and anyone who called them Walleye, were visiting Americans(people from Ohio also called fish "feesh"). My dad claimed that the full name was Yellow Pickerel, to differentiate them from Blue Pickerel, that had been extinct in Ont for 100 years. He also claimed the term Walleye came from the full name Walleyed Pike. Never seen a Chain Pickerel, or a sauger, but obviously they exist! Nothing is right or wrong, Americans call all carbonated beverages "soda", and in Ont if you ask for a soda, you get soda water.

A rose by any other name, is still a Rose.
Walleye, Pickerel, whatever suits your fancy. I use whatever name the folks I'm with call it. It avoids confusion. And that is what a name is supposed to do. |

Arguing over common names is a fools enterprise. If you want to be correct, use the LATIN species name. It is the only correct answer. Common names of organisms are sometimes recognized by societies, organizations and similar, for example, The American Fisheries Society attempts to formalize some of these names AFAIK. Americans and Albertans love to call them Walleye, out east they're often called Pickeral. But no matter where you are in the present time it is Sander vitreus. |
3 years, that has to be a record for a thread ressurection! :)
Nice to see the pics though. |

Latin words are either feminine or masculine. Specific epithets (vitreus) must be in agreement with the generic epithets (Sander) When a generic name is changed, as it was in this case, from Stizostedion to Sander the specific name has to be in agreement. That is why vitreum (feminine) was changed to vitreus (masculine). Taxonomy can be a bitch, but it tells you everything about the organisms evolutionary lineage at present, and to some degree the past. |
Let's just call them BASS! :scared0018:

What is a musky?
|
Quote:
Its part of the esox family and grow very large. Theyre is many hybrids including tiger muskies(pike and muskie) to clear-spotted muskies. They also grow realy slow and only thrive in warmer lakes with big baitfish. Theyre some tiger muskies in medical lake below alberta :D Very smartfish and the best time to get them from medical is at night pounding the same area with large orange topwaters If musky were introduced here in alberta with a self sustaining population of pike the muskys wouldnt survive because the pike grow alot faster then muskies do |
