KILL them ALL!
You should be Worried about Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon too.
Kill them. Crab Bait, Fertilizer.
if you're worried about pikeminnow killing smolt, then you should also be killing all the bass...
To see the impact of pikeminnow aka squaw fish the Eel River in CA had these come into the system in the 80's.No salmon fishing allowed and hook and release steelhead this system was one of the top salmon rivers in the country.Invasive spicies pikeminnow destroyed this river,something loggers tried but could not do.
schools are finacialy failing, and there doesn't seem to be any government money?
I release them. I'm not going to throw them on the bank just because they eat salmon eggs. If that was the case then I'd have to throw the trout and steelhead on the bank also.
Yep!

Let us rephrase that... PM's will eat smolts, eggs, and anything else they come across.They eat way much more too.
Mother Nature put the pikeminnow there for a reason.
OK I will rephrase. Pikeminnow, trout, and steelhead will eat smolts, eggs, and anything else they come across. They eat way much more too..
So what do you mean "anything else they come across. They eat way much more too." Pikeminnow are part of the ecosystem just as any other living being is. Sure they eat fish eggs but so do trout and steelhead. They eat smolts but so do trout and steelhead so what is your point?
They are an invasive species that was introduced. Just like small mouth bass, any non native fish should be killed.
