Actually there are a lot of very fertile "fish factories" in Southern Ontario. Lots of shallow water, weeds, farming etc. Kawarthas, Simcoe, Lake St Claire, Scugog and Rice to name but just a few (and large to boot by Alberta Standards
).
Fastest growing walleye are thought to be in a shallow reservoir in Southern Alberta. That would be Keho reservoir.
The further south the lake or water body = longer growing season. And the fact that keho is hard pressed to find 28 ft of water really helps.
