Not only does Sask have more water bodies but lots of large ones. |
If you take diefenbaker and last mountain lake, multiply by 2 you’ll have about as much surface area as Lesser Slave, which are all accessible by road.
The lakes in Alberta are literally polluted with walleye, to the point where it’s hard to find a pike in any water body that holds walleye. It’s our AEP who are destroying pike populations, not anglers. Soon every fish in Alberta will require tag$ for retention. They tested out how a tag system would work and found it lined their pockets well so they ran with it. They could have opened up lakes for retention for 2 months out of the year instead, say one in the summer and one in the winter to reach their intended numbers but there’s no bonus cash involved that way.
