Alberta has trout, a lot of trout, and there is a good possibility if bass were stocked that they could find their way into trout water, either naturally or with help as they have in BC. That is the same kettle of fish and one of the real risks. Also, as we know, Alberta's walleye and pike populations are precarious at best in many waters...do we really need another top predator competing for the same food sources?
