I'm 45, grew up in Calgary ...... Walleye were called Pickerel and the term Walleye didn't catch on until I was into my 20's maybe.
Pike were mostly called pike but the old timers called them Jackfish.
Most of born in the 70's inherited all the screwed up changes - like pickerel to walleye and imperial to metric ..... no wonder we are all screwed up.
