Doubt the Lamprey, but the Pike Minnow is a large voracious fish. 12-18"
and they are thick below the dams, feeding on the smolts.


Did you know that anglers can collect $4- $8 PER FISH?

Not in california. But interesting fish. Get them trolling at times for
trout, but on the eel river above Lake Pillsbury one time we there when they
were up in the river spawning. huge schools of them. You could catch maybe
2 in a deep hole before the bite shut down. I understand they give off
certain chemicals when under stress, and it shuts down the others from
biting.
