The pelican problem is also on the oldman river in the Taber ,Grassy Lake area as well on the Bow river and Oldman at the forks. Ive seen these birds eat fish that had to be a few pounds in weight, they could barely lift there heads out of the water, to get it down. Ive seen about ten to twenty birds go on a eating frenzy that seemed to last an hour at a time. I could not believe the amout of fish taken in that time frame.Guys in the area that stock ponds with rainbows pretty much lose all due to these birds. Just no good for nothing.
