Northern pike are distributed throughout much of Alaska but did not occur naturally on the Kenai Peninsula. They were introduced into Mackey Lakes in the Soldotna Creek watershed by a private citizen during the mid-1970's. There are reports of northern pike in Cisca, Tree, and Gagara lakes in the upper Soldotna Creek drainage, but these reports have not been substantiated. In 1986, a northern pike was observed in the Moose River above the Refuge boundary. This sighting indicates that northern pike have migrated up the Kenai River or that another illegal introduction has occurred. No evidence of successful reproduction has been documented in the Moose River, however, if northern pike become established in this watershed, they could have detrimental effects on rainbow trout and other species.
