I dont think it is a food source issue. Pike are considered a cold water species and they thrive in lakes with a variety of bottom structure which includes drop offs, deep water, weed beds, rock structure. UL isnt really a cold water lake (not deep enough). It has an ample food source but no deep water and very little rock or drop off structure. Pike are ambush feeders so they love sitting just below a drop off waiting for prey to swim off the edge and into their reach. They will probably never do great in UL because of this.
