When and where did they stock walleye in Alberta last ? I’m assuming he meant Alberta, could be wrong.

Thanks

From 1999 to 2006 almost nothing and very few lakes since then.

I remember reading one of the Alberta Outdoorsmen articles I'll say in last 4-5months that specifically talked about the stocking of Walleye and its effects on Pike in lake Wabamum. Could be wrong by a year or 2 but remember early 2000s was last stocking effort. I think even sometime after the rail car spill which I believe was around 2005 or 06??? I'll have to look for that magazine again.

Of course kind of a mute point since Wabamum is C&R only.

Here is a link to the stocking reports, looks like the last time they stocked walleye was in 2013. Take a look at the number of walleye stocked between 2009 and 2012.

They used to stock lots of walleye ! Wonder where that money is going now ?

The Alberta gov't plan was to stock lakes with walleye and then manage them to be self sustaining populations. Apparently the Alberta Gov't is way smarter than our friends to the east, who stock the waters to boost the populations where need be. Not sure how Sask can afford it, but Alberta cant.

Yeah that's odd you would think we could afford it

Other provinces and states also don’t put 50 million fry in a lake and then shut it down to retention ! They could have put 2 million into 25 different lakes and just let people keep a fish or 2.

Wabamun is a perfect example of how Alberta messed up walleye stocking and where many southern Alberta. Stock millions of walleye, make everything c&r (on the walleye at least) and then the walleye eat the lake out of house and home. Still won’t be able to keep anything but the lake is collapsed outside of walleye... the lake hobbles on until the walleye that were stocked die smaller and stunted than they could have had a more balanced fishery existed by allowing a modest walleye retention.

Norther version of Pine Coulee walleye screw up.

Just clicking thru some of those lists over the years you need a calcuator to figure hiw many millions were put in LLB. Maybe share the wealth.
