Question Bass? Alberta?

Why won't they stock a lake in alberta full of small mouth bass?

There fun as hell to catch.

I say throw some into Badger lake and Mcgregor....



What do you guys think?
Also is there any bass in alberta?

I found this and I will Quote

"Smallmouth bass were introduced into Alberta in the early to mid 20th century by
individuals or managers acting on their own initiative; these fish did not survive (Scott
and Crossman 1973; Nelson and Paetz 1992). Some reproduction of a small
population introduced between 1977 and 1984 into Island Lake, north of the town of
Smoky Lake in south-eastern Alberta, has been observed. Remnants of this population
may still exist (Nelson and Paetz 1992)."

Here is the URL for this, http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Library/337846.pdf

Also Quote

"Fish stocking and fish transfers have a colourful history in Alberta. Fisheries
managers introduced large and smallmouth bass into Sylvan, Gull and Cooking
lakes in 1908 and into Lac La Nonne in 1924."

Here is the URL for this, http://www.whyte.org/time/riveroflife/fishmgmt.pdf


Reading all of this and I was thinking.
Do you think there are some bass still alive in Island lake?

If everyone just did a search instead of starting a new thread, this forum would die in a week.Every topic, other than maybe what you had for breakfast on a particular day has been covered time and again on here and every other forum I'm sure.

I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape about bringing up a topic more than once. If you think a thread has had too much exposure then don't respond . Pretty simple if you ask me.

I wonder if there might not be some useful info in past threads? Much of the info in those threads is pertinent to this thread!

Nothing wrong with another BASS thread most people in Alberta don't know what their missing. Don't believe it will ever happen but thats just another lose for Alberta and Albertans.

And is there something wrong with getting some fresh opinions? Go ahead, post new threads, it is after all a fishing "discussion", not a fishing "search engine".

Global warming has caused many changes in our weather patterns, and often times lakes are warmer now than they have ever been. The chances of stocked bass surviving have most likely increased.

I would like to have some close by, but driving 3 hours is no big deal to me. There are lots of bass close to home...

If the bass can even survive our winters, I think it would be a bad idea. Like perch, people would bucket them into lakes and rivers where they shouldn't be. And they're a predator species, It wouldn't be hard for them to compete with pike. I think it would be a good idea though to stock them into lakes that were illegally stocked with perch. They'd clear up that problem pretty well I think.

Would love to see some Muski stocked some place as well as bass. They don't stock perch anymore so this won't happen. Soon all you will catch in Alberta will be Rainbows and Walleye. Perch are dissapeering, Pike are getting smaller and fewer.
