Hey Donkey,
How can you say it doesn't work when they gave it a very small attempt and did very little stocking of it?
How many Trout lakes winterkill yet they still keep going back and dumping more fish in there. Doesn't that mean they have failed with that also and should give up on it? You have to look from both sides here and see that there is a very good possibility that there is some lakes and ponds that could support small mouth bass. Ya they may not be able to spawn but neither do the trout in any of them. They would just have to stock them every year just like trout making it the same kind of deal as trout.
Like mentioned before by Darter. It would take money away from other programs in Alberta and cost a ton to created a facility to spawn them but it is possible if the money was there.
Hey Darter,
There is carp in at least 2 ponds in Lethbridge and you can hook into them once and awhile. I can personally tell you that they do put up one hell of a fight and could be alot of fun to target.
