We wouldn't be fishing for whitefish in Gull lake or for perch in Sylvan lake. The whitefish originally in Pigeon were a strain that only grew to 2 pounds. Now we have jumbos that were stocked in the 1930's. If we hadn't built dams on rivers like the North Saskatchewan we would still be fishing bull trout in Edmonton and even further downstream too.
Don't complain about the fisheries biologists. Thank them for their efforts.

Well, that kind of thinking is going to be seen as wrong I'm sure... People like to **** on everything that anyone does. We'll see where this goes.
Otherwise,
A refreshing post Red! Cheers to you! I'm off this week and enjoying everything that Alberta has to offer. It has been a complete pleasure. I like to also coin this week "hatch week". It is just plain awesome out there.
