(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.
if the pike wont take a good sized smelt, downsize, try the smallest one you can find. works for me when they are being fussy.

So I finally got a reply to my email. Here is what it said.
Thank you for your inquiry. You’ve brought up a good point that I will try to clarify in a future edition of the Sportfishing Guide.
*
If a waterbody (of any sort) is listed specifically in the “Lake and Stream Listings” and the angler catches a species of fish that is not listed for that waterbody, then the angler may retain fish in accordance with the “provincewide maximum possession” listed on page 18 of the 2010 Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations.
*
If a waterbody is not specifically listed in the “Lake and Stream Listings” then an angler needs to: 1) abide by any size limits and quotas listed under the heading of ”Site-Specific Regulations” for that particular watershed zone, then 2) ensure that they don’t exceed the “provincewide maximum possession”.
*
After following the steps described above, an angler would be able to retain three pike of any size from most (but not all) stocked trout ponds. It’s worthwhile noting that the stocking program is not operated in the same way every year and sometimes new management goals are established for a waterbody.
*
If you have any further questions relating to sportfishing regulations, I would encourage you to contact the Fish and Wildlife Division district office nearest where you live, dialling 310-0000 for toll-free directory assistance within Alberta. **

It sounds like they are going to try and clarify things a bit better this year.

This is a recipie I got from a guy that made me perch chowder once I think he got it offline


INGREDIENTS
•1 pound lean bacon (cut into 1” pieces
•3-4 medium potatoes (cut into cubes or slices)
•1 large or 2 medium onions (diced or sliced)
•10-15 large mushrooms (diced or sliced)
•4-6 reg. cans Cream of Potato soup (or 1 – 2 large cans)
•1 quart whole milk (or more…to “extend”)
•1 tablespoon crushed garlic (to taste)
•2 teaspoons black pepper (to taste)
•1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
•1 bunch fresh perch fillets (1# - 2#…or more) STEP BY STEP

1.Fry bacon pieces until semi-crisp. Remove to large soup pot. Save drippings in fry pan.

2.Fry potato pieces in bacon drippings, until softened and browned.
Remove to soup pot, leaving as much bacon drippings as possible.

3.Simmer onion and mushrooms together in remaining bacon drippings.
Cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms mostly cooked.

4.Add mushrooms, onions and all other ingredients (except the fillets)
to the soup pot.

5.Start cooking, first on high heat and then lower, to prevent burning
of milk and soup. Stir frequently.

6.Keep heating and stirring until fishless soup mixture is warm enough
to start steaming.

7.Add fish fillets, and stir into hot soup.

8.Keep heating and stirring until fish fillets turn opaque and flaky.

9.When soup is bubbling, and fillets are broken up and mixed into it,
turn off the heat begin ladling into large bowls.

10.Serve with oyster crackers, extra seasonings, Tabasco sauce, etc.

I just found this from 2010.

http://www.srd.alberta.ca/ManagingPr...t/Default.aspx

Scroll down to unwanted Yellow Perch in stocked trout ponds. You can read that Nicholas Sheran is listed in the updated list of ponds. Which means that last season you could have kept 15 perch from there. However, in the April 2010 NOTES portion, it states:

"Q. What’s the strategy for dealing with perch in trout lakes? A. SRD response consists of education and removing incentive for act: signs to be placed at stocked waters; info included in Sportfishing guide; no harvest allowed of perch in trout ponds; hefty fine for illegal introductions, and guilty may be responsible for costs of restoration. Strategy may evolve over time.
o Closing a perch-invaded trout pond to all fishing is an option to be considered. This is done in BC. Consultation would have to be done, and a defined process followed."

as well as this:
"The point was made that some anglers likely prefer perch over trout, particularly youth. Maybe having perch in these ponds is a desired state? A suggestion was made to post a list of waters in which perch have been intentionally stocked, so inform anglers who want to target that species."

So they have confused me all over again. I would take this to the fish and wildlife office if I wasn't in Sask right now. They made it clear that you were allowed to keep perch in the 09-10 season out of Nicholas Sheran. But I have no idea if that still stands. Any thoughts?

More confusion to this point. I don't think the F&W even know the answer. They've made it so confusing
