Don't be surprised if black nugget is completely devoid of tiger trout when it is "evaluated" on its effectiveness. I heard from a friend whose local to that area that they have been taking a beating and many many fish have been taken home to get freezer burnt and thrown out in a year. Absolute waste of time and money. I can't help but wonder what the government's reaction to these findings will be.

It will winter kill anyway..Almost always does. I will let you know in a couple weeks.

"In order to evaluate their effectiveness in providing more diversity of fishing opportunities at stocked trout lakes,
Again not sure the point behind this either ? Yes of course it will provide more diversity..yes people will like it..More stocked lakes should have multiple species.. We have been saying that for years.. The only things it when you have such small numbers of other trout like Tigers don't stick them in lakes that will winter kill like Black Nugget..Dumb

I was referring for to the time of day and the specifics behind when the sunset sets. Anyway if its C and R what does it matter ?

Might have found another new bit:
Crawling Valley Reservoir, including the Crawling Valley Inlet Canal downstream of the canal headworks (Little Dam) (3-21-18- W4) – Walleye limit 0; Pike limit 0; Perch limit 15; Lake Whitefish limit 10; Burbot limit 10.
May 8 to Nov. 30 – Open only between sunrise and sunset each day.
Dec. 1 to Mar. 15 – Open 24 hrs. a day.
Mar. 16 to May 7 – CLOSED
A no keep limit on pike is long overdue here. This fishery badly needs some relief.
The Sunrise to Sunset thing is bizarre....Tough to enforce that one...

Recovery Rest Period
Ø Due to a conservation concern for a high risk population of Arctic
grayling in the upper Pembina watershed, a recovery rest period is being
implemented for a period of 5 years. During this time, no fishing will be
permitted in the Pembina River and tributaries upstream of Lodgepole.
Seriously fewer grayling because of overfishing ? No
Habitat destruction ? Yes
The only thing five years will do is allow Brook Trout to take overmore of the Pembina as have in the Lovett a tributary of the Pembina.
But what's next ? Close all Bull Trout , Cutty, Grayling and native Rainbow streams to angling ?-

The PC party can always make a comeback but in order to do that it needs to rid itself of all of the past MLA'S that keep showing up in the media.
The Johnathan Denis and Thomas Lukaszuk's ..

I am ok with the fine but they should have been banned for five years or 100 hours each of working om stream and river projects with Trout unlimited.

Muir , Beaver , Ironside , Hennigers , Black Nugget , Dilberry , Kerbe's , East Twin, Lower Chain , maybe Tyrell....

Wheither you like it or not this province is run by big oil ! ESRD does whatever they are told to do by the PC'S who are owned by the Oil companies.
The enviroment is not a priority and certainly comes second over Oil , gas and Timber. That's just the way it is... Somethings will never change..

First of.. the reason there is Catch and Release now being implemented on these lakes has nothing to do with the fact..for the most part.. that they are pure strains. It has more to do with the biologists believethat the harvest occuring it hampering the fishing from reaching their growth potiential. I think there out to lunch but I agree with the regulations from the stand point that we don't need to eat these fish. There are are lots of other options if eating fish is what your about. As far as guding people to these lakes I believe that as Pete said this is a wonderful educational opportunity. And Pete is certainly the type of guy you want to guiding in such an area. Now if we can't stop the fish at Job Lake. That is a major concern because that is our brood stock !

The delay was due to the Feds. No fish are going into Blood as Tigers are NOT being used to control carp. As the Tigers won't be in the regs they will be put and take this year but yes signs are going up to encourage anglers to release them however that may not be possible if they are caught with bait.
-
Approximately 10,000 Tiger Trout will be stocked in Alberta later this year.
Where they will be planted has yet to be determined but likely a couple of lakes up north , a couple near Edmonton and a couple down south.
There are still a few hurdles being worked as to exactly when this will happen and anglers will be encouraged to release all Tigers so that they can be caught by others and grow to a bigger size. Congrats to ESRD and the Fisheries Management for rearing this hybrid to further enhance fishing enjoyment for Albertans.-

Smaller High altitude lakes in Banff produce cutts over 5 lbs and 20 inches on a regular basis. All of them are catch and release however none of the ones im thinking about are stocked. One of the lakes im thinking of is one of the highest elevation lakes in a national park. That said there are also lakes within 3km of some of these "big fish" lakes that produce small fish on average. I think each lake is its own eco system and food supply will determine the size of fish not altitude. One lake in BNP has seen a sharp decline in population and size it was alarming to biologists and the did a study on the micro biological levels in the lake and found them crashing for a reason they did not know the biologist we talked to said high alpine lakes without a strong micro biological base can not sustain large fish. I am not a biologist I don't know what conditions need to exist for a strong micro biological base.
I am curious as to the one lake. If its the one I think you are referring to I have my own therory.

No more harvest..No more bait ? C and R. Let's see in 10 years if the fishes are bigger,..We can hope !
-
Well after all this flooding ...they may be the only fish left... so carefull what you wish for !
-
Yes Happy Belated..You still have a few more hikes in you ..lol
-
Very Nice ! Thanks for sharing...

I was kinda worried about bringing my son fishing. So I bought him a big stuffed bear so he is familiar with its shape and so on,
I left the room for a few moments and when I came back found him like this - not worried anymore LOL
That is priceless !
Always be prepared and take someone you can run faster than !

Thanks for the pictures.. Can you say LOTS of Bear Spray !
