Go to the fishing hole ask kindly for a set of Fishing regulations , they are your friend .

Its the squeezing and fingers in the gills that kill, which there are a lot of pictures on this board if you look. An angler will usually want to know the weight of a fish this size and with this common type of scale, this is as good as it gets. Don't worry, I look for this sort of thing. Get your own gig.

Actually proper way of doing so In with a scale and a cradle but not everyone does this . But more fish are killed by putting your hand in there gills , tearing there gills aswell as your hand , them things are bloody sharp . This is why I dont stick my hands in there unless I'm taking them home . And well if your taking them home from Wabamun YOUR A POACHER .

Listen pal...........
I have fished there for years.
We release all fish with care. If we lift them up to weigh them, we do so quickly and put them right back quickly. That's why they are still there.
That's why we can keep fishing there.
They were not biting from the temperature change shock to their system.
They are not dead.

I agree with sniper, the the big sharks in wab. can turn on/off in a few hrs and stay that way for a few days, and they won't even bite if you drop a smelt on their nose ! (tried it) THe next day they might chase a spoon from 20 ft away ! They are there, but always interesting , if it was easy everyday then it wouldn't be any fun !

Great pics! Them are some beauty's!

Were heading to Chin this weekend for one last try. I here there's still 18" of ice on most Southern Lakes. Just hope I don't have to jump open water to get to it!
