So I don't think there are reasons to fear introducing this "foreign" fish... it's already been introduced to Alberta numerous times in numerous lakes. I just don't think they would do well here and stocking might be a waste of time. But if the govt. wanted to give it a try again based on new information that offered hope for successful introduction or even successful put-and-take, I'd be all for it. And apparently so would many others -- the "yes's" have pulled ahead...

there is a big difference. those lakes where you have 10 varieties of fish are HUGE. we dont have lakes that size here.
