Wall-Eyed Pike in Sunset Lake

Event date: Aug 4, 1922

Some Brattleboro persons were much interested to see a wall-eyed pike fingerling in Sunset lake Sunday. The lake was stocked with wall-eyed pike fry three years ago, but no evidence of their presence had been seen until Sunday and it was feared they had failed to survive, but the discovery of the fingerling shows that at least some of them are still alive and are breeding. Wall-eyed pike are a deep water fish and are night feeders, and so far is known there has been no fishing especially for this breed in Sunset lake.
