I hate to keep up the arguement with ya GEEZER but the whole idea of Comins not being able to support pike is nothin but a bunch of B.S.
It is frustrating to see NDOW continously make false claims and then everyone just accepts them like its straight out of the bible. Last time I checked the four year biologist degree which I hold is the same degree that everyone else has in NDOW. So dont try to tell me they know best.
Pike have already proven they can survive in basset lake, one which is much smaller and has higher water tempatures than Comins, so that shoots your theory straight to heck.
Pike would do well in Comins if proper time and management was applied, and the trout and bass could also co exist. The apparent spike in population everyone is so worried about is a natural cycle. Its called a predator-prey oscillation. After a year or two they will bounce right back along with bass and trout. The reason we dont see this cycle in trout is because they are constantly transplanted into the lake every year. If NDOW would put the time and effort into it Comins would make an excellent pike fishery offering Nevadans a unique and different oppurtunity. A pike fishery would also be self suffiecent once started meaning they wouldnt have to be planted every year like your little trout are, saving thousands of tax dollars.
Screw NDOW keep the Pike in Comins
