I haven't really kept up with much of the discussion ensuing, but I'd like to add that I think some trout hybrids should be stoked in some pothole lakes, as done in Saskatchewan. Although it's only 4-5 hours to some great splake and tiger lakes just across the AB/SK border, a lake with tiger trout in closer proximity to Edmonton would be a nice switch from all those identical ******ing rainbow trout ponds. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I am aware it comes down to funding though. I would genuinely be okay with price of a fishing licence exceeding 70 dollars if it allowed us to restore more damaged fisheries, recruit more COs, and diversify the "pothole lake" selection.
