uhh, and why is that?

[crashingagain]

why call RAP??

[goober]

I am pretty sure that Morinville pond is included in the new stocked pond rules from last year. Perch are not stocked in there so it is now not lawful to keep them. 0 Perch limit in the lake!!

I guess I should have made that clearer yes it is one of the lakes drop to 0
limit for perch. Along with theses


The following list of lakes, reservoirs and ponds identifies sites that are frequently stocked with rainbow trout, and some with brook trout, brown trout or cutthroat trout. Water bodies appearing below are open all year with a trout limit of five. The harvest of species other than trout from stocked trout waters is not permitted. Stocked waters where the harvest of other species is allowed or where bait restrictions apply are listed under "Lakes and Streams Listings" for each Watershed Unit.
Several additional sites stocked with rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat trout or arctic grayling are not identified in this section, but appear with special regulations under "Lake and Stream Listing" for each Watershed Unit.

Your welcome, just remember it's gotta be Velveeta, for some reason that's the one they prefer everywhere.

[Willowtrail]

Just a side note on the perch.
I thought you weren't allowed to keep any fish other than the stocked fish in a stocked lake.

Like what "Goober" says.

Hey Horsetrader, my interpretation on Goobers comment was for you to call RAP to report the other fellow, not you.

I saw you caught no perch.

[stephane]

to be clear, is it any stocked pond that has a 0 limit on other species? or simply the ones listed on the page?

cardiff park is stocked and listed in the regs under pp2 with a trout limit of 5 and a perch limit of 15. So, obviously its not all ponds. Also what about the morinville resevoir? it is not listed in the trout stock program nor the normal regs, would it not fall under the legistlation for unlisted lakes and streams?

Which morinville pond was the OP talking about? theres the fish and game pond past the public works, and the pond west of the hwy 642 overpass?

[2tall4u]

Morinville reservoir just west of the hiway is also called Heritage lake.

[stephane]

excellent, thanks for the clarification.
I have never heard it referred to as that.

I was not aware that you couldn't keep the perch from the reservoir. I guess the easy explanation is that it is because they aren't supposed to be in there. Somehow they were introduced into the reservoir.

If there is no possession for perch in there does that include catching them and immediately disposing of them into the bush?

I too cannot comprehend how placing a 0 catch limit on an introduced species will in any way benefit the lakes stocked population. Oh well, rules are rules i guess.

It was carnage that said to call rap but no explanation if that was his reasoning
then I apologies for the rant.

Cardiff is not on that list so it falls under the regulations of lakes and streams

[stephane]

yeah i understood cardiff park, just didnt know the other was known as heritage.

It's to keep the bucket brigade from further introducing perch (or whatever) into the trout ponds.

No point in putting the easy to catch perch in a pond (and ruining it for the trout like Hasse) if you're not allowed to keep the perch.

At least that's the idea as far as I understand it?

Was not sure of the reasoning behind it myself but that makes sense Geezle
thanks

[YeeHaw]

In short if the perch are introduced into a lake, then maby think about drilling a half hole beside your regular hole to "Release" your perch into. Just my 2 cents worth.

I suppose that makes sense, a sort of no positive results from a negative action mentality, sucks to let perch go to waste however

[pophouseman]

They should let you keep all the perch you can catch out of a trout pond. They choke out the trout and affect the size and quality. The local edmonton lake where i fish also has seen the introduction of perch, and we were told by the community league to keep as many perch as possible, but they spawn so fast without moving water.........its a losing battle.....i think the main question we should be pondering is, who are these @$$holes who keep illegally moving these fish around....... The perch will never grow to any decent size, all they do is annoy people and harm the trout..........I fished a "polluted" lake 3 times a week this summer and caught a total of 5 perch worth keeping the amount of bait i wasted on the little ones was unreal........i wish i could find out who these people are.......jerks

I agree. This has to be one of the strangest rules in the regs. Completely counterintuitive to the whole purpose of these ponds.

[Photoplex]

That's kind of the point. If they let people keep perch from waters they were illegally introduced into, the ********s have won. They illegally introduced the perch into a water for a reason.

Then, the same ********s will decide they want to pollute a water nearer to their home, will introduce the perch to more waters, where they will happily fish all year for perch - keeping all they want. Given enough time, every water in AB will be inundated with perch.

[BuckHunterBowen]

...i fished a lake that was an excellent trout lake 5 years ago i did actually catch one over 5 pounds the last time fishing it...i also kept 90% of the perch that i caught because there is no limit on this lake because it was illegally introduced with perch. seems alot of people dont agree with this. but i am glad you guys do.
