down based soley on harvest numbers according to a GT warden?
If you catch a northern pike, or find a dead northern pike at Georgetown, you should bring it to a FWP office. If you don't have the time to go to a FWP office, bring the pike home and put it in your freezer, and tell FWP you have it and they can pick it up. As a minimum, take a picture of it and email it to the FWP Region 2 office. They'd really like to know if there are northerns in Georgetown. There was a rumor going around about 10-12 years ago that some northerns had been caught in Georgetown. When FWP was sent pictures of these northerns, they identified the fish as lake trout. A former fishery manager (now retired) for Georgetown said he used to wake up in a cold sweat from a recurring nightmare that someone had stocked northerns in Georgetown.If anyone knows what the "issue(s)" is, please let us know! I'd really like to know.

A couple of questions:1. How could anybody mistake a lake trout for a pike?2. Which would be worse for the kokanee population in Georgetown Lake, having pike in the lake or having lake trout in the lake?3. Could lake trout get from Silver Lake to Georgetown Lake without human assistance? Lake trout migrated up the Swan River from Swan Lake to Holland Lake and Lindbergh Lake. Several years ago I found (actually bit on) a passive integrated transponder (PIT) in a lake trout I caught in Lindbergh Lake. The trout had been tagged some years earlier in Swan Lake. But Georgetown Lake might be too shallow and warm to develop a permanent lake trout population.
