White suckers and Longnose suckers (both of which live in Chain) are native to alberta. At one point, 15 or 20 years ago, they did nearly overpower the trout, so the government introduced bull trout and stepped up their stocking. They're no longer much of a "problem". Some people even target them there.
Leave the suckers alone, they're fun to catch on a slow trout day. They're also more challenging to hook sometimes.
