[quote TubeDude][#0000FF]Man, that would make any survivors really old.
If you have that kind of info, you might also want to see if you can verify that DWR even experimented with planting chinook salmon in those days. Heerd tell of that one also. But don't know anybody who has ever claimed to have caught any.
Too bad the carp didn't "take".

I don't remember Chinooks, but they did say that they tried Arctic Grayling and some other oddities way "back in the day".
As for the old pike, the thinking was that they were able to persist at some very low level through the decades although they never really took off. Even now, in addition to the likelihood of bucket biology, it is interesting that the pike showed up en masse around 2011, when spawning habitat was optimal from the flooding and several other species exploded as well, such as bluegill, crappie, large mouth bass, and the catfish species. I'm not sure we will ever be 100% sure.
I came across that fisheries forum folder the other day and will post up any pertinent stuff that I find.
