Good to see the fatties are roaming around and eating in there. I may end up out there one day this weekend. I will be in a single man blue clam flip over. If you see me stop by and say hi.

I couldn't seem to figure any of the fish out last time I was there. I'm impressed. I'd be even more impressed if you figured out the pike in there as well! It seems they won't bite anything you throw at them.

[gprime27]

yea those big pike are being finiky. got two of them on a countdown rap. Not the jigging ones.. literally the silver sinker.. BUT they won't bite if there's a silver leader on it..

[gprime27]

I'll be there sat morning bright and early

[npauls]

I may see you out there then. I will probably just have my little blue sled with a black box in it with a seat mounted on top since it will be super nice and I probably shouldn't lift anything heavy just yet. I will be wearing my green and black arctic armour suit and probably testing out a cordless drill auger.


Nate

[gprime27]

see you then

[Guitarplayingfish]

Nice brooks. There are some pigs in there.

[gprime27]

I'm hoping I can pull out a brown out of there now with the trick I figured out.. here's to hoping..

[Alberta Bigbore]

Some nice colors !!

[JJRND]

What were you using for bait? Or was it part of the trick you figured out?

[gprime27]

I wasn't using bait. there's the starter.. I'm not saying.. you know what I caught the first one on was a white jig .. I'll say that..

[chubbdarter]

so its legal to harvest perch from this body of water stocked with trout?

nice brookies.....very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gprime27]

I questioned it when I brought them up and a guy told me that it was good to keep. He informed me "he was informed from the C.O"

[npauls]

Ya darter it is legal. It isn't a bucket brigade style stocking of those perch. They have been in there since they started pumping water. I think the no keep rule for perch applies to the lakes that are known to be bucket stocked only.

[gprime27]

This is what I based this off of to keep them:

It states this:

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.

Watershed Unit PP1
Bow City East Ponds - (15-17-17-W4)
Cavan Lake - (30-11-3-W4)
Echo Dale Regional Park Pond - (5-13-6-W4)
Emerson Pond - (5-19-28-W4)
Enchant Pond - (8-14-18-W4)
Foremost Reservoir - (17-6-11-W4)
Goldspring Park Pond - (6-2-15-W4)
Heningers Reservoir - (9-3-12-W4)
Keenex Coulee Reservoir - (10-11-24-W4)
McQuillan Reservoir - (13-8-19-W4)
McVinnie Reservoir - (33-12-21-W4)
Michel (Michelle) Reservoir - (5-7-3-W4)
New Dayton Fish and Game Pond - (32-5-18-W4)
Reesor Lake - (20-8-1-W4)
Spring Coulee Park Pond - (12-5-24-W4)
Stirling Children’s Pond - (29-6-19-W4)


Notice above Nicholas Sharon is NOT on that list

It is however in the PP1 Zone and it states

Nicholas Sheran Park Pond – Open all year – Trout limit 5; Pike
limit 3 (no size limit).


And it states this in pp1

For other PP1 Lakes, Reservoirs and Ponds not included under
(A) or (B) and for fish species not mentioned at a listed lake.
 Open all year – Walleye limit 3 over 50 cm; Pike limit 3 over 63 cm;
Perch limit 15; Lake Whitefish limit 10; Burbot limit 10; (where
present, Trout limit 5; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm);
Bait allowed.

I'm assuming I could take 15 / day

There's my argument and I'm sticking to it

[chubbdarter]

right on good to know, because after i read pge 8 of the regs i understood its illegal.
in the specific lake details it does give a exempition for the keeping of pike but not perch

[gprime27]

I think now that I know this I'm going to go nail 15 perch out of there and start making some awesome chowder!.. the trout and pike don't even eat them.. swim right down the middle of them and carry on stupid things..

[Guitarplayingfish]

You may want to consider that the pike and trout don't eat them for a reason....

[gprime27]

Actually there's nothing wrong with anything we've pulled out of there. Kept the trout.. they taste great.. I did up those little perch that I kept.. used a sergical scalpal and deboned them.. tasted great.. tried a couple testers.. was worried.. Not sure why everyones afraid to eat them.. they are fine..

I'd be more afraid to eat the fish out of the old man or henderson..

westside lake is fine.

and i'm a VERY PICKY person with my fish..

[JJRND]

Gprime is right. They had this same discussion a while back about a walleye caught in Park Lake. The lake specific regulations make no mention to the limit of walleye you can keep, so it then falls under the pp1 general regulations. So if you managed to catch 3 walleye over 50cm in Park Lake you could take all 3 home. The guy who caught the eye called a CO and that is what he said. So it looks like Gprime is going to have an excellent meal of perch chowder here soon. Let us know how you do with the perch next time you head out!

[tuffymitch1]

Beautiful Brookies,they are such a colorful fish!

Actually the do, we met gprime on that very windy day last weekend. You walked off as I walked on had a quick hello and small chat. Anywhos I was in about 30 some Perch and while fishing for them a pike circled and the perch scattered a few min later the perch regrouped around my bait and then all of a sudden wham same pike came out if no where and hammered a perch. (watching them all On my camera) took a fee minuets for the debris to settle. On that note I watched a pike swirl around my smelt on the tip up a few jigs inticed him to just nibble taste then let go and take off. Last yeAr I didn't have any troubl catching them on tipups not sure what the deal is this year.

[gprime27]

Ahh yes that was you ... excellent. I've had trouble with the pike to.. but, I gave my hint up above.. I've seen some HOGS in there.. only managed two so far.. Glad to hear they chase the perch.. they are better in my belly really .. next time I'm out there come say hi

[JJRND]

Are you guys using anything special for the perch? How deep are you finding them? I've only ever seen one in there, and it was in 10FOW.
