The Nevada Fish & Game introduced them into Basset Lake back in the late 60s in an attempt to control and use the carp population as a food source. It was really a bang up pike fishery for a few years.
All the time I was growing up in Ely the only thing in Comins was chubs. In the late 70s or early 80s they put pike in there & the fishing was nothing short of fantastic. Then the pike ate up their forage & began stunting. Along came an extended drought & they poisoned them out & when the water came back they introduced trout. A certain bucket biologist in the area went to Basset Lake & caught some pike & re-introduced them to Comins & wrecked things.
