Pike removal to continue in sections of Lake Coeur d’Alene
Biologists with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe will resume gill netting efforts this spring to reduce northern pike numbers in Windy Bay, Benewah, Chatcolet, Round, and Hidden Lakes. In cooperation with the Idaho Fish and Game, the project aims to reduce pike predation on native, lake-run cutthroat trout in select areas of Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Netting in 2021 will occur from March 15 to May 28 and Oct. 1 to Nov. 31. In order to minimize impacts to recreational anglers, netting is suspended all weekends and during the summer from Memorial Day weekend through September. Spring netting targets shallow, shoreline habitat where pike prefer to spawn. Fall netting is used to monitor the pike population response and to capture fish that may not be vulnerable in the spring.

The proposal, which would add 29,000 square feet to the 83,700-square-foot facility and drive-up traffic an estimated 42%, is subject to city approval. After a more than three-hour planning commission meeting Jan. 25, the decision to recommend approval of Regency s plan was tabled to allow more time to discuss neighbors concerns.
