Chances are that the Pike are hanging out in all of the new cover. I am not personally convinced that UL is that great of habitat for them anyway.
Pike prefer clear water becase they are ambush preditors. UL has probably never been "clear" and with the carp it never will be much clearer then it is now. They also prefer cool water, and much of UL's season is sure not clear. I suspect that eggs suffacate when spawned (hot 100%), and I have never seen what I would call a "fat" pike there.
Still, once started, which they are, they will never be gone. They may hide a few years and show up again, but .....
