That is all.

you sir, have my sympathies. You must be having a tough time in life that you have to go on the internet to assert your dominance over others. Get a line wet and enjoy yourself.

We catch the odd rainbow, but they too seem to be too small compared to the volume of the lake. My solution?-> 15 sterile male pike about 3 years old.
All year another friend and I have been catching big trout in Auburn Bay and Crystal Shores, both lakes have no perch. In fact he won the Auburn bay summer fishing Derby yesterday with 4.75 lb big fat female. She was one of the two we kept all year in fact. Crystal Shores is smaller but the trout are big, just too bad that the developers in Okotoks never thought of adding much shoreline to the lake instead of cramming houses onto it. My point?-> Lakes with invasive perch stunt their own species in size as well as the original inhabitant species.
Many of us choose to live in the private lake communities for the proximity to a fishing hole. We pay a big yearly fee for our access and I would flip my lid if I were to catch someone dumping a bucket of invasive fish into my lake.
Sundancefisher would be the proper gentleman to contact in regards to accurate info on Lake Sundance.

On that note:

Is there any sort of proven healthy relationship between pike and perch?
Like, I know rainbows are the do all to end all, but why don't we stock more ponds with a combination of pike and perch??

Or who should I be asking about that?

Can a fertillized egg make it through the digestive system of a bird and still survive? Has anyone ever looked at this as a means of spreading fish? One poster here thought it unlikely that it could be carried in the feathers but what about through the digestive tract?

the stomach Acid would prevent that from happening

[Rumtan]

Can that be proven? I cant just take someones word for it anymore. What do you base your answer on?....fact or theroy? Corn can pass through a humans digestive tract and can still be planted and grown.

seeds and eggs are a little different, have you ever seen or ate fish eggs??? (caviar) I dont think you need to google this one, seems HIGHLY unlikely.

A seed is very hard, a fish egg is VERY soft, little different lol

And have you tried this with corn??? how do you know this??? and why are people eating corn seeds anyways? Or you talking about eating some creme corn and shatting a crop of corn plants.

"seems HIGHLY unlikely" ....so its theroy then.

i did not google it, so yes its my theory, you want me to save you the hassle of typing this in google lol ok i will look for you. I will tell you right now this will depend on what species of fish, so should i be looking for perch or what

also, are you implying......that a bird ate a fish full of eggs??? or did the bird just eat the eggs??

and you did not answer me about the corn, when is the last time you tried this

An egg is a single cell with a permeable outer layer to allow the enterance of sperm. It is not a thick hardened cellulose layer that is found in seeds that acid has a hard time breaking down. even if a minute portion of stomache acid breached the cell wall the cell would die. It's as simple as that.

I've tried Salmon caviar and trust me they didn't survive.

Explain to me, why, in a perch polluted lake, that adding a bunch of trout, or other predator fish wouldn't very quickly turn into a much smaller number of perch and a bunch of much larger trout.

Rainbows wont eat perch, they don't like chewing on the spines. I believe that there are some people trying to convince the govt that the introduction of tiger trout would be a solution as they will eat the spiney little fellows. There is a hatchery in cold lake that has thousands of them in tanks ready to go but they cant get approval to stock this hybrid species.

[the local angler]

crazy idea its too bad the gov doesn't have the money or man power to do this. what if they do a major netting of say lake sundance or any other lake with illegal perch put them in there huge tankers that they stock with sterilize them for any contaminates and drop them into lakes that already have perch populations like travers or something? they would have the other species that would be able to feed on them too like pike and walleyes.

Interesting point about tiger trout. Never knew they would eat perch, but I do know rainbows and brookies won't.
I don't thing fishing mom was commending the perch bucket brigade, just saying why she thinks some misguided people might do it.
In the past the govt. ussually poisons a a small trout stocked lake or pond to get rid of the perch (or sticklebacks) and then later re-stocks it.

[niwrek]

Some people put perch in a lake cause dynamite is way to hard to get a hold of
