The former's fins have dark leading edges and amber to dusky coloration. In addition, the light areas between the dark bands are generally wider on the grass pickerel and narrower on the redfin pickerel. Record size grass and redfin pickerels can weigh around 2 pounds (0.91 kg) [3] and reach lengths of around 13 inches (33 cm). [4]

Its body outline resembles that of the northern pike (E. lucius). Unlike northern pike, however, the opercles and cheeks of chain pickerel are entirely scaled. [5] It may reach up to 78.7 centimetres (31.0 in) long only on rare occasions. [8] The average size for chain pickerel, however, is 24 in (61 cm) and 3 lb (1 1/2 kg).
There are 30 species of fish in Lake Timiskaming, the best known are northern pike, sturgeon, lake trout, walleye, smallmouth bass, bullhead, carp, burbot, perch, and whitefish. The lake was shaped during the last ice age when glaciers carved into the rock.
It observed seven largemouth bass from 2 to 20 inches (5.1 to 50.8 cm) in length and two northern pike from 20 to 25 inches (51 to 64 cm) in length. [4] Since alewives were introduced into Lily Lake, bluegill populations have declined by 77 percent and black crappie populations have declined by 79 percent.
A young E. lucius specimen — a "chain pickerel" in the original sense — in an aquarium.. The generic name Esox (pike fish) derives from the Greek ἴσοξ (ee-soks, a large fish) and appears to be cognate with Celtic, Welsh eog and Irish Gaelic iasc (fish), as well as alpine Gaulic *esosk which is consistent with the original indoeuropean root for the common word for fish, *pei(k)sk.
Esox cisalpinus was distinguished from Esox lucius (northern pike) and described scientifically as a new species in 2011 independently by two research groups. The description by Bianco & Delmastro was printed earlier, [4] and the name Esox cisalpinus is therefore accepted, whereas the alternative name published somewhat later by Lucentini et al., Esox flaviae, is considered a junior synonym.
