Been out there about 10-12 times this year. Haven't seen any yet.

Keep in mind I'm usually fishing pretty shallow for pike.

They only put 700 in there they aren't worth targeting yet.

Yes they will be doing more stocking this summer. I believe it was a three or five summer program thinning out walleye from Lac Ste Anne and adding to Wab.

There probably hasn't been any walleye sightings at Wab because the pike have probably ate all of them all already.

For those wondering about where the walleye are coming from for Wab, read the Wab link here: http://www.srd.alberta.ca/Newsroom/SRDStories.aspx

I friend of a friend said they have seen them on camera on a rocky ledge at 25 FOW. Not familiar with the lake and don't know where they were and no reports if they caught anything. This lake is a great story and will be in 3-4 years when the eyes are restored.

It would be cool to see Wab get restored with walleye, though unfortunately if that happened the great trophy pike fishery would probably decimate once the walleye started out competing the pike.
