[I’d rather be outdoors]

For the record - I was strongly opposed to the plan to convert PC into a trout lake by attempting to kill off the pike and walleye. I used to really enjoy the walleye fishing there, and by the sounds of it, it might be worth revisiting at some point. Which is a miracle, because according to the pro trout crowd, every walleye in the lake should be dead of old age by now...

We agree on some things except on the point of stocking. If lakes weren’t stocked at all, we would have probably been a fishless province long ago. I personally believe they should stock trout (as a forage base), in other walleye reservoirs too as a test.
