Walleye Draw Results are Out

[JohninAB]

Was snooping around Alberta Relm's website and noticed the walleye draw results are out.

I was shocked to see I was awarded Class B tags for Pigeon Lake. Not so much because of my priority of 1 but because I was positive I 999ed all the draws.

Oh well, guess I will be making a trip to Pigeon this year with the boat for the first time in 4 or 5 years.

[BuckCuller]

This will be the first time in a long time I could keep a walleye in Gull Lake.

[astepanuk]

Well with Priority 2 I figured I had a good chance getting my walleye draw for Baptiste lake well I guess its another year catch and release for me!!!

[SNAPFisher]

This will be the first time in a long time I could keep a walleye in Gull Lake.

Nice! You are the first I've heard too. Congrats. I'll check mine tonight. First choice was Pigeon Class A and 2nd was Gull.

[rookiemoosehunter]

The family and I got Lac Bellevue....can't wait...

[HowSwedeItIs]

Nothing for me this year, drew last season and wasn't able to go, next time!

[EZM]

My lucky streak of 0,1,0,1 priority has caught up to me. Last 4 years I was drawn for my first choice .......... this year I was not drawn.

Undersubscribed is what it will be I guess .....

Baptiste for me!:)

Well I was drawn for Class A at Lac La Biche... I am pumped to keep a few hogs out of there, I have heard there are some big ones. I was only a priority 1 but with 1000 available i guess the odds arent bad. Anyone else apply for La Biche?

[Deasoninc]

I got C and my wife got A at fawcett. Haven't checked the kids yet .

[dustinjoels]

I didn't get drawn for lac la biche with priority 0.

[coors04]

Gull lake for me and the kid this year. Can't wait:)

[Jamie Black R/T]

Class A Lac La Biche drawn.

[marty1]

Just got off newell checked out the results and i was pleasantly surprised that i received gull tags so looks like ill have my first feed of walleye in years .

[kodiakken]

Mother and I got Gull Lake this year.

[bubba 96]

3 of us received a-class at newell:sHa_shakeshout:

[ruger300]

Me, the wife and oldest daughter drew class A at Lac Ste Anne. Youngest drew class C, Hopefully can get out there a little bit more this year.

[deschambault]

Oh well, another year where I go to Saskatchewan to have fish to eat.

[RiverHawk]

Class A @ Gull for me. Hopefully there are a few left over 53!

[HunterDave]

I got drawn Class A for Lac Ste Anne. :sHa_shakeshout:

How's it work when you purchase online? Pick up the tags at an outlet?

[Homes Outside]

First year I applied for walleye tags. Got drawn class C. Had a friend in the same group. Just want to confirm. The three tags we split between ourselves or we each get three tags?

Thank you for clarifying a newbie question.

[Blastoff]

Got my 3 tags, fish fry happening.

Thanks for the heads up Sir. My 6 year old Grandson was so excited when the first piece of mail he ever recieved was his WIN card. I hope he got his first Wallie draw.

Your tags are your tags....like your limit is your limit, can't "share" limits or tags.

Really?! I figured that labiche would be one of the harder tags to draw!! I blew all my priority points (7) and ( obviously) got drawn also! Should be lots of fun!!

[Homes Outside]

Thanks for the replies. Good luck to all that got drawn.

[FishHunterPro]

My group of 4 got Lac la biche with a priority 1 , I was think we were going to get are class B draw because we had a p3 but I'm glad we got la biche while the gettings good.

[Remi3006]

No luck on class A Newell...

[JonnyBoy0919]

Class A at Gull for me; good chance to get some use out of the new kayak!

[BiggieB]

Put in with my brother,girlfriend and dad for class A and B with pigeon as first choice and lac st anne as second, had a priority of 0 due to my brother never putting in a draw before.
Sure enough Wasn't drawn for the first time in 3 years which is funny cause most years im drawn for pigeon with a priority of 0... go figure hope to get my unsubscribed tags on friday...

[huntsfurfish]

Awarded class A on Newel.:sHa_shakeshout:

Guy I take fishing also got Class A Newel.

[DiabeticKripple]

Class A on Gull

[D.A.C]

The wife and I both are awarded...Walleye class B. Lac Bellevue.
It was our third choice.

[SNAPFisher]

Wife and I both awarded Class A for Pigeon. Still wondering if I should have went for Gull but Pigeon is just so much closer to home :)

I tried for the 2nd year in a row for Class A tags on Pigeon. We catch hundreds of walleye there every year-a lot of which hit that "A" required length. Waiting 3 years to pull 2 fish out of that lake?! That's nuts.

That is what happens when you apply for the same tags everyone else does...

[italk2u]

Nothing for me this year, drew last season and wasn't able to go, next time!

likewise

Sure I get that. But three years on that lake when it used to be an annual slam dunk. What's changed? Certainly not the walleye numbers.... are applications that much higher 3 years later?
Pigeon can handle a slot size daily limit. Now I'm no expert as to speculate what that would exactly look like. But 3 year wait for 2 fish there is absurd

Have to agree with you Wild. At times you have to wonder what the reasoning is behind some of the decisions made as to what you can and cannot keep. They probably could put slot size retention harvests a a number of lakes for even one year and also on the NSR. Those poor pike are getting smaller and skinnier every year at Lac St Anne. Oh well it is what it is. Just have to drive a little farther to get to a lake where you can catch a keeper.
Congrats to everyone who got the draws they wanted. Our group is quite happy.

[DalyShooter]

I put in for myself (A's) and my two kids (B's) at Pigeon - none of us were drawn. Can't complain, we've had a pretty good run leading up to this year. Hopefully we can get in on some underdrawn C's, as I've really been enjoying our annual March Fish Fry. On that note, remember that the latest you can purchase your tags is March 15th. We planned our fishing trip a bit later this year, after the 15th, and we weren't able to purchase/use some of our tags. :(

[tight line]

Got mine for Gull!

[FISHBATTEREDBEER]

we got B for Pinehurst

In my case, I was drawn 3 years in a row at Pigeon for "A" tags ...... go figure ..... luck of the draw I guess. A nice feed of Alberta walleye every spring for me.

This year, for the first time in 4 years, nothing awarded, but I'm OK with that considering how lucky I had been.

[Vook]

Gull class A for me and son!

[PerchBuster]

After not being awarded last year, I was awarded Class A for Lac La Biche! Not my first choice, however, equally thankful to be able to enjoy them this year just the same. :fishing:

[ceadog]

Just bought a C undersubscribed for Lac St Anne - at least my kids will be excited to keep one.

It's not a lottery so luck really has not much to do with it (it does a little for the lowest drawn applicant pool).It's based on priority.
I also had A tags on pigeon at will before last year. The priority should dictate i draw this year unless of course they have decreased allowances(which would be nuts) or there's just waaaaay more applicants. At a P1 I should be ahead of all the P0 basically.

Did anyone draw class A walleye at pigeon with a P0 this year? I would be interested to know

[coyotekiller]

Got B class on pigeon, I was thinking of applying for Gull but ended up just going with 999 for my A class.

I agree, has to do with less A tags or more applications !! I just draw for all classes now, increase priority on 2 classes I don't get drawn for. B for Pigeon this year !!

[dutchpirate]

Wife and I got our Walleye A's for Newell!:sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:

[marlin1]

no joy for my gull draw , first timer . last walleye kept in Alberta was when they were draining Magregor
