Are you sure they're whites and not tulibee? I've seen them feeding on the surface in the summer but I always thought they were the latter.

They are whites. Check the regs and the Alberta fishing Guide as well. Everywhere you look it says that there is whites in the lake.

This is new, Never seen one there before. Checked Alberta Fishing guide and regs from the 90's and there is no record of them being there. Always thought it was odd too due to the two adjacent lakes (Ste. anne, Wabamun) having them. I wonder if they are related to the Ste Anne Fish as the two lakes are conjoined by a stream that was once a lot higher than it is now. Maybe they were stocked of late, transplanted, or just always there and never noticed. I will have to try and get a DNA sample to compare to the other two lakes. How long ago did you notice them rising?

No they were fishing in the flats off of the bigger island to the east ( in front of Silver Sands), where all the perch fisherman are in the winter. I have never seen them around the He-Ho-Ha island and that is where I fish the most. Our cabin is in the bay that looks directly at the camp and the south side of the island.

I have seen a few swim by while ice fishing for pike a few years back. Big ones too. There are some in there how many I'm unsure. I have never really tried fishing for them in Isle.

Just wondering if you saw them while fishing all over the lake or just more in a certain area on the lake.

We saw them along the south shore just west of camp He-Ho-Ha about +/-2km in about 8 ft of water. I remember there being a slight point sticking out from the shore and we were set-up in front of that. The only time I ever saw Whites in Isle.
