Hi Phil!

Yes! Fishing is still allowed at Bantam except for Pike -> Which means like WMA areas for trout (catch and release only), "All" Pike if incidently caught, must be released immediately, unharmed, and with the least amount of stress.
Thus the 26" minimum and 2 fish keep limit for Pike do not apply during the March 1 thru April 30.

Here's an interesting post about "targeting pike" at Bantam Lake:

BTW, I think that C.O. stands for "Conservation Officer".
