Lurking in the shadows of some Utah waters lies what some believe is the monster of all freshwater fish. The non-native Northern Pike has been introduced into a few state waters.  You can find them in waters such as: Yuba, Lake Powell, Recapture and Redmond reservoirs.   And while they don't grow to record size around here these fish can still reach lengths of three to four feet and have become a popular sportfish for many anglers.
    

The clamp-like jaws, roof of the mouth and tongue of the Northern Pike are all covered with rows of razor sharp teeth which enable this predator to eat fish, insects, frogs, mice, muskrats and even ducks. In fact, one study estimated a population of these fish ate 1.5 million waterfowl on a refuge in Michigan!
