Northern pike found in Sanders County's Bull River

| June 18, 2024 7:00 AM

While it was probably just a matter of time, state wildlife officials recently announced a northern pike was found in the Bull River in Sanders County.

The announcement came in a June 13 press release from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks FWP after it received a report from an angler who observed a pike in the river south of Bull Lake near Noxon.

State fisheries biologists confirmed the observation by catching and removing the fish. The presence of pike in the river is believed to be the result of an illegal introduction.
