Anyone know when the following lakes open to fishing: Wabamun, Jackfish (near Stony Plain) and Pigeon?

I think we're all getting sick of questions about things guys should be looking up in the book or on the FG website. You really shouldn't ask those kinds of questions either because say we give this guy the wrong date, May 20th he heads out is amazed how quiet the lake is until he sees the FG officer coming for him. Couple tickets later he realizes that for anything pertaining to regs, always look in the book, we're actaully just trying to teach him the right way of doing things.

geez... I'm well aware of how to look through my regulations, just thought that asking this way was easier. If you don't want to answer the question no one is forcing you to read or open the thread.

Mooseknuckle, thank you

It is sound advice to check the regs in writing in the manual. It will save you alot of grief by having the regs while you fish.

Sometimes information can be posted in error.

Sure everbody should read the regs, know them inside and out, no doubt about it. But don't tell me you are trying to teach anything buy stating the obvious.
This site is full of people asking questions that could be answered by doing a google search, we don't jump on them for that. In my opinion if you don't have anything constructive to add, or info to give, why bother giving a smart **s comment? Thats what people should be getting sick of by now. It happens in every thread.

Now I apologise for hijacking this thread and turning it into my personal rant. Sorry to the OP.

Its called being spoon fed.. Their mommy did for them until they went to junior high now they just expect it from life in general.. Why use your own head when someone else will do it for you...

"jeez, sorry officer...the guys on AO said they thought it was open today!!"

My goodness.. a lot of snarky responses for a really non-controversial question. This thread should have been over after the first response.

Well, enjoy yourself guys, I will be out actually fishing instead of posting on this website.

I am assuming you know which lakes are open by now.

Have fun wherever you end up and don't be afraid to come back to the forum.
