I'm not sure when you last went Bush, but I was there lately and went twice. First trip we fished hard all day and only got 15 between two people. Second trip later on we fished hard again all day, past dark and only got 23. Out of all the people we talked to, we did the best. Btw Burbot hunter if you do ever go, there is a crazy amount of tiny hammerhandles... caught more of them than anything.

They have changed the access of the lake because people have been trespassing on a farmers property. I heard 7 people got charged with trespassing
by the rcmp. Some of these people left a mess of garbage and empty beer cans on this guys property.

I think that was for last summer! we have not had any problems with access! the perch are hit and miss tho! We had one guy in our group pull 10 out last time out in a 5 gallon pail they weighed over 23 pounds!

Went to that lake once in my life this year, It will be the last. To FNNn many people, Thats how lakes get fished out, Once they catch alot they keep going till there cleaned out. Why cant people just go a couple of times and then try other lakes, they need to lower the limit so all you can keep is 5 perch, enough for a meal, If we keep fishing all our lakes like this you all know what the turn out is,

Agreed and the worst part is 90% the fish being taken are females right full of eggs!! Maybe some of these lakes should be shut down earlier!!
