Chain Pickerel are found along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast tributaries. They have been introduced to other areas, including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, south to Florida. They prefer weedy pools in streams, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Chain Pickerel are opportunistic feeders and striking predators. Their main diet consists of small fish, crayfish, frogs, mice, newts, and insects. The body has dark chain-like patterns on greenish sides and is long and slim, similar to a northern pike. They have a larger head, fully scaled cheeks and gill plates, a dark bar beneath each eye, and yellow eyes. The snout is long, broad, and rounded with sharp teeth, and the lower jaw extends further forward than the upper jaw. Chain Pickerel grow to an average of 91 cm (3 ft) in length and weigh approximately 3.2 kg (7 lb). Source: Discover Boating (https://www.discoverboating.ca/resources/article.aspx?id=274)
