Due to ambiguous regulations and rumors in the 10 pike possession limit regarding processed pickled or ground pike, CFAPOA asked local Warden Tom Heisler to explain the regulations. Warden Heislerโs response is as follows:
Yes, pickled count, as do ground count for possession limit. So until consumed or given away, pike possession can't exceed the 10 per person limit, regardless.
Obviously a tough regulation to enforce when fish are pickled or ground to determine number of pike in a jar or pattie.
I pickle alot of them and make sure to mark # of pike in the jar.
Ground i suppose a person could do same. Not easy task, but best way to make sure a person isn't over 10.
