Since fish have been stocked for about 100 years in Alberta anglers should be very grateful for what fish we have. Aside from the trout stocked, many lakes were stocked with walleye, perch, pike, whitefish and even some salmoniods( that didn't take). 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.
