This is supposed to help recover the population I assume.
Is the increase in walleye in the lake having an impact on this ?
Sure like to see it bounce back to what it once was.
I have witnessed some locals from the colony harvesting pike from the canal area.
F & W are aware.

Badger was a favorite lake when I lived in southern Alberta but it’s been a long time since I fished it properly outside of a few casts when I was antelope hunting.
I do have buddies in southern Alberta that still fish it and do ok on pike. What they have mentioned is the poaching is bad and they have called in lots of people. According to them the walleye population is really just ok not high so I don’t think this is why it declined
