My first search this morning for "Canadian fish" found lots of pictures of pikes. And after your post, pickerel pointed to pike as well. But, looking up "walleye" now, I find out it is not a pike, and that in Canada it is called a pickerel. That looks like the only place that "pickerel" is not referring to a type of pike.

And now I know far more than I ever wanted to know about Canadian fish. I think I'll go back to whistling that Monty Python song. But that of course makes me wonder, if I'm going to slap someone with a fish in Canada, pike or a pickerel?
