This cache was placed for an upcoming event for the new cacher in the family GPS_JUNKY 4. The event was on May 30th. 2009. Just placed to have some new caches in the area for people like "DOC" who got them all from the area all ready. Not quite a P & G but close too it. Tried to hide 20 caches today so the cords might be a little off. If they are, post your cords. I will get updated right away. Oh yea, I didn't have any pens to put in cache, so bring your own.

MANAGEMENT: Walleye were stocked annually until 1993, and have been planted every other year since then. The species has taken hold and is abundant, according to the most recent electrofishing survey in 1994. Northern pike are also abundant, as are bluegills and black crappies, though both run small.
FISHING INFORMATION: Pike Lake offers northerns, bass, panfish, and some walleyes that can run up to 11 or 12 lbs. The latter are chiefly caught in the winter or early spring or late fall. In the spring, you'll find walleyes in the hole on the north end, Carlin says. A good bass hangout is the small bay below the point on the west side of the north end. Work the northern side of the narrows, along teast and west shorelines, for bass and crappies.
