I'm not celebrating yet but let's hope this is the beginning of the end for Pike in Lake Davis
Lake poisoning seems to have worked to kill invasive pike - as reported by SF Gate

There may be something that is still alive in Lake Davis, but crews with the state Department of Fish and Game have not yet found it.
Game wardens in an armada of 25 boats poured 16,000 gallons of the fish poison rotenone into the scenic Sierra reservoir a week ago in an attempt to exterminate a voracious invader known as the northern pike.
Some 41,000 pounds of dead fish have since been scooped from the lake at the northern headwaters of the Feather River in Plumas County. The carefully hatched plan was to kill virtually every living thing in the high Sierra lake and its tributaries, assuring that the pike would be exterminated.
