lol I wouldn't want to be a poacher eating fish from that lake. There are some nice fish there though.

Darren, Doc and I were out there a few weeks ago. There were a couple of guys slicing and dicing their fish right at the garbage can on the warm water outlet. I saw them pack up the fillets and leave.

That's not a surprise. We seen the same thing last time I ws there, not long after the spill.

Since when are there walleye in Wab? I netted a few thousand fish from there, no eyes. When I asked why no eyes, they said there were none
