Yes there is. Below is the commercial fishing schedule where you will find Lac St. Anne at the bottom.

Default Commercial Fishing

What a joke. Commercial fishing should be shut down altogether. Wrecking Our fisheries. Hundreds of KG's being taken from "collapsed" zero limit fisheries. Lake Athabaca, wow. 170, 000 KG's of Walleye....they should have that vaccumed clean in no time. Sorry to derail your thread, never seen that list before.

Totally agree with Spruce! Not sure about the rest of you but I haven't had any luck with catching a keeper perch for supper out of Lac St Anne, but yet there is a Perch quota for the commercial fisherman as per the list? Curious to know what size of perch they are allowed to keep? I too apologize for derailing the thread, but this just frustrates me

Are those quote number a total for the lake? or per license?

Funny how no one can keep even 1 pike from Lac Ste Anne, but the quota is for 550 kilos of Pike (which would probably avg about 400 pike at 3lbs each). Similar numbers would apply for the walleye...

That's a helluva lot of fish. And the # of whites is even more astounding...

As for locations, I always see at least 1 or 2 nets in West Cove, on the south end of the island...

typically the large quotas are for the fish species targeted ie whitefish for example. The pike, walleye etc... are incidental quotas as they get caught in the net as well. Once one of the quotas is met or exceeded the fishing is over as they don't want to overharvest the accidental quotas
