Default Has the fish stocking program been cut way back?

Has there been a drop in the number of lakes being stocked or will the list get updated later? I've never looked to closely at the stocking dates but I was going to go try my new rod when I found hermitge park pond is not stocked anymore?

Some lakes are no longer stocked ie Dipping Vat.There stocking amt. is now dist.back into area lakes 40,000.Also with places such as Police lk.,which used receive 100,00.Now only receives 5-10,000 & some years none.For that matter all your QSF lakes get a smidgeon of stocking ,compared to what they used to.Those fish that were allocated to the QSF lks,are dist. thru-out the prov.

I take it the dispute with the landowner at Dipping Vat is on going. Too darn bad, used to be a good little lake.

Taco; You are right the dispute carries on.Holding us ,interested fisherman to dream on the past fishery.One landowner is trying to sell his property around the one side.Hopefully after the sale.Negogiations will resume..

Would be nice to see a tentative schedule, marked as such (and clearly indicated that they are subject to change of course). I'm sure they have a pretty good idea of the next few months, if not the remainder of the year by this point. Not sure why stocking plans appear to be such highly guarded secrets.

The lady answering the phone at the edmonton office told me it would be about the same date as last year. So I called another office and got the number of the guy in the know, but he's not answering right now. I'll try again later.
