So if it is only effecting 10% of the pike why would they want you to release the fish back into the water?

Answer #1 - to infect the rest of the pike

or

Answer #2 - to protect your health.


Which one makes sense to you?

Is it a "condition" or is it a "disease"? Seems they know what it is but won't say. I've seen this the odd time before in other lakes, but 10 % seems like a lot. Best wash your hands before you pee.
