What does it mean when a fish rolls on a fly?
Asked by Tifanyl
When a fish rolls on a fly, it typically indicates that the fish is inspecting the fly or trying to knock it off its territory. This behavior doesn't necessarily mean the fish will bite, so it's important to continue varying your presentation to entice a strike.

What do Northern pike eat?
Asked by Wiki User
well... they eat anything that they can get their mouths on, small fish, leeches, chipmunks (if they fall in the water), frogs, baby otters, birds (all kinds), martins, and basically anything that is meat and is smaller than them, even their own kind.
Big pike generally do not eat small minnows, frogs and bugs. Their main food is Walleyes. The big pike will usually hang out where they can ambush and devour Walleyes. The prime ambush area is points leading into shallower bays. Big pikes are guerilla leaders on their own. They will also hang around rocky points, shoals, islands and other places where there are plenty of Walleyes. The most obvious place to get a big trophy pike is at the mouth of a stream or river gullies between islands. The big pike just sits there quietly, waiting for Walleyes to swim past them.
Northern Pikes are known to be very easy to deal with; it will hit just about any lure. The most popular lures for Pike are the "red & silver" and the yellow "five-of-diamonds" Daredevils. Pike are also known to hit jigs, Rapalas and Thunder sticks. Some of the biggest pike have been caught with small jigs. It makes a perfect sense because the big pike will patrol the outer parameter of the schools of Walleyes.
Pike loves to play with your bait. A big pike has the habit of hitting the lure and bait many times before falling to the bait. So you need to be very patient till you catch that elusive Pike. If you get a big pike on and then lose him in the process, just wait a little while and he will hit again for sure. They are so voracious, that they forget quickly and start to feed again.
Most anglers try to use Dare devils and one very effective way to maximize the attraction of a Daredevil or other spoons is to hard slap them. What you attempt to do is cast towards your target zone but cast up very high so that your lure falls into the area you intend to fish. Jerk your line towards you when the lure is just above 2 to 3 feet above the surface. This makes the lure slap on the surface. If you are doing it perfect, you can hear the Daredevil slap. The sound of spoon will trigger a feeding response. With clear water, the red and silver color lure works best. With muddy or iron-rich, clogged water, a yellow Five-of-Diamonds Daredevil seems to work better. In muddy or iron-rich water, rattle baits are far better as the pike can locate your lure purely by sound.

What colors can walleye see?
Asked by Wiki User
Different species have different needs from their vision and may well see (Infra red/Ultraviolet etc?) and other totally different light frequencies from humans. They may also see some colours vividly and other colours as shadows, so their vision works differently from ours because different things are important to them. No doubt they will see whatever colours they need to see for their survival in their natural habitat.
Why is action needed to bring sustainable fishing practices?
Asked by Wiki User
Because, managed correctly - with quota systems, and restricting the number of days a boat is allowed to go to sea - fishing is a sustainable industry ! It's only when limits are removed, that boats can catch as much as they like - decimating stocks to a point where there will be no mature adults to perpetuate the species.

Is Rainbow Trout healthy?
Asked by Wiki User
Up yours.
Literally. Rainbow trout in the larval form are commonly found in the digestive tract of the human body, and some larger mammals. Though harmless, if not excreted within 48 hours of consumption, the body fluids react with their skin giving them barbed scales which will rend your body from the inside out, thus ruining you for all the other women/men, depending on whether you roll with the rainbow.
