Tullibee

[PerchFisherman]

Hey folks,
Found the old man's copy of Lakes of the Lac La Biche District.
Lots of cool tidbits, but what I found most interesting was the huge number of tullibee that used to be found in Alberta.
In some instances, they'd net, in one year, 200,000+ pounds of tullibee, and only ~50,000 lbs of whitefish.
Now, I have seen tullibee in Cold Lake on multiple occasions, but the number of lakes that had tullibee at one point astounds me.
Where did they go? Am I just blind? Are they still around? How did the whites manage to kick around, but the tullibee die off?
Interesting.

Lots in cold, llb, and slave. They like the bigger lakes. Friend just caught one at llb last week.

Many are caught by anglers and misidentified as small lake whites as well.

Calling too I believe has a good population.

Alot of those lakes up that northeast way have or had good tullibee. They would just swarm a hook a couple feet under the ice over deep water. Caught a monster in moose 30 years ago I still have a picture of. Not sure if they still common haven't been up that way for a few years. The old boys said they were full of worms.

We used to catch them through the ice at Slave. Blue and silver jigging raps.

^^^ THIS

I have fished with many people who caught these and thought they were whites. I bet 99% of the people who catch them have no clue.

Been in Crawling Valley for years. Most think they are whites.
