Its good small pike action now, you won't get bored. Seems like once word got out how good the fishing was all the keepers got hauled out. Just don't go catch 100 pike and pick each one up by the eyes then drop it in the bottom of the boat and watch it thrash for five minutes. I see a lot of that out there. Come spring thats where everyone in bonnyville likes to go quading and to have bush parties. They also like to camp right where the boat parking is when there are several other places to park around the lake. Perch are extremely hard to come by but if you find them you will likely catch only one or two that are extremely fat and may be worthy of a wall mount.

My family commercial fished, trapped, fished and picked berries around tucker since the forties but haven't done much in the last 20 years as those who did are dying or too old. I have never heard mention of a walleye in there, but i could have swore i had one on my line once. I guess it makes sense they could get lost and swim down the creek from Borque. My uncle swears the biggest whites he has seen in his life were in Tucker back in the forties but they fished them out. He claims they were 15 pounders. It wouldn't surprise me that they could get that big with the amount of feed in there. The pike will often have nothing but shrimp in their stomachs. I think it would do the lake wonders to have whites in it again. Its is my understanding that a lake with open water species like white fish produce much larger pike.
This is the SRD's netting record going back as far as 76. These are the species caught.
