Police outpost winterkilled
Heard some ice-fisherman checked out the lake to find lots of dead minnows and no trout.
What a waste to not aerate a lake with such great potential.
Can't understand why other lakes and lots of other provinces don't have any issue with aeration

I heard the same news, I hope it's not 100% accurate, but it doesn't sound promising. Might be a sign of bad news for some of the other southern lakes that are vulnerable to winter kill too.

It will be a terrible result,of years of trying .I see that in some lakes in BC where there are wk problems.Fishermen/women have gotten together,with a GO Fund acct.Where those monies go directly to aeration.Some lakes are also collecting $ 10.00 for parking,which is then used for aeration,up keep etc.Quality stocked fisheries are so rare,it behouves me why.The gov't can't look after ,aeration..Sad

what is sad, the aerators were purchased and power was installed. Parks wouldn't operate them any more and the ACA did a lousy job as well killing it once in two years.
Word was that the Camp Attendant was to aerate the lake.
Looks like that didn't happen either.
About time to fire some people.

No kidding. And ask for volunteers if no one else will do it. So many more on here care more about it. It really is not a hard thing...

Very sad to hear that. When I was going to school, we spent a lot of time there.
Years upon years...

Rumour has it there was winter kill, exactly how much is yet to be determined, as of today the ice is not off yet.
Fish and wildlife were there today and nothing has been determined .
Hoping those 20 plus inch fish are still around

Maybe now they will put it back to the way it was.... a family campground and you can keep what you catch... The trophy boys might have to find another pond to dominate.

The province needs to put it back to the way it was. If it never could support a population of naturally occurring fish let it go. Quit stocking with fish that aren't indigenous to the lakes and put the money into the habitat where our native species struggle.

Lannie; Why is it so wrong,to have a handful[1 hand].Of QSF scattered around the prov.It gives fellow fishers ,the op to catch,perhaps there PB. That is not 8-9" long.IMO there should be more...

I guess that what your saying .Is the stocking ,of fish is wrong .So by adding,in some cases 400,000 walleye to a lake,is not helping fisherman success.Whether it be time,recreation or $ put back in the municipalites..That's right these qsf,bring people in,from hundreds of miles away.Some needing lodging,food,gas etc.
Stocking fish also saves the wild stocks,that are being decimated.By over fishing.If people,don't start releasing wild fish.There will be no means,of rejuvenating lakes.With either trout,walleye,pike,etc.

Yep, Alberta has gone downhill fast since the 80s in terms of funding Fish and Wildlife.Absolutely pathetic. Walleye may be the only success story, of course this is to the Pikes demise.

Police Outpost Lake
Sadly 2 or 3 winters ago someone ignored the signs and drowned beside the aerator in the lake so they permanently got rid of it. Which is why all the large trout have basically all died off

Might work.Because Brown's & Brook trout both are more tolerant of less oxygen.When compared to Rainbow trout.They are all susceptible to oxygen depletion.
Something to ask your MLA etc. Is why the ACA,still aerates lakes north of Calgary.but can't seem to find,a good reason why Police,Bullshead,Dipping Vat.Arenot aerated.I can just hear Todd's um,um,but but. Kiss my fat ass Todd & the Fisheries mgr...

Worked at Bear Pond, ice on until mid May this year and notta tiger went belly up.
Historically winter killed every 4-5 yrs with AG. Worth a try and they grow quickly….
