How to fish for blue pike

Blue pike (blue walleye, Sander vitreus glaucus) were a distinct blue-hued walleye variant of the lower Great Lakes that once supported an enormous commercial fishery and were declared extinct in the 1980s after overfishing and habitat change. They are included in the catalog for historical and record-keeping completeness only - they are not a species anyone can target today. Where the name appears, treat it as walleye historically; any modern catch reported as 'blue pike' is a color variant of ordinary walleye, not the lost subspecies.
