And don't hold your breath that a lake 2 hours away won't change. I drive 5hrs to get to a lake with some lunkers but even it has deteriorated over the past couple of years because of the 5 fish limit and more fishing pressure. I could drive 14hrs to Manitoba where they actually know how to manage a fishery but at some point, I do need to draw the line.

I generally don't fish lakes like Strubel. There's one like that here in Morinville 3 kms and a few others within 10 kms away that I might go to occasionally after supper but if I'm going for the day, I have other options. I still enjoy it when I go but aren't my first choice.
Your efforts to go fishing is out of the norm IMO. My experience is that allot of fellas won't make that kind of effort. Most anglers that I have met want convenience and as little effort as possible, thus the whole purpose of this thread.
