They may have used some trap nets this past fall. Traditionally whites are the target species, however i was told by a reliable source that this past fall one of the commercial fisherman brought a friend from Slave Lake area that had a good market for both Walleye and Pike. Incidently this caught fish & wildlife by suprise as both those species got hammered this past fall.
