I sent an email to the DNR about changing the Pike size limit there and asked about the walleye stocking program. This is the response.
Thanks for the note and information. I'm aware of the pike population in East Bass, and it is unfortunate that someone illegally stocked them in there in the first place. One we get done with the review of our gear restricted trout regulations, our esocid regulations will be reviewed next. Management plans for each species will also be finalized. Thus, until the esocid review and plans are finalized, we cannot make changes to the regulations. However, East Bass looks to be a good candidate for the 0 msl & 5 pike/day regulation, and I fully expect to have this regulation at my use when the moratorium is lifted.
We are still operating under a reduced walleye stocking program due to as yet un-answered and remaining questions due to VHS. For the past several years only Lake MI has received fish in my unit and no other inland lakes, so East Bass is being treated like all the rest. However, progress is being made in research and disease testing, and this is encouraging. I am hopeful that we can include some inland lakes in our stocking program next year and expand back into our program. We have to be very careful with VHS, as this is one disease that we do not want to accidently spread to other waters or our hatchery system.
