I keep seeing posts from the crew fishing at Sundance Lake with smiling kids and plenty of fish and it makes me wonder. Some of the best perch fishing in recent years especially in and around the cities has come from illegally stocked lakes. Now, I'm not condoning the illegal stocking of fish, but, what would be wrong with the government controlling the stocking some of these smaller lakes with perch It would take tons of pressure off of the other lakes as well as providing fishing opportunities in and around the major centers.
Our newer subdivisions and park systems are full of small man-made lakes. We are not blessed with the amount of lakes that some of our neighboring provinces have, but I for one like a pan full of fish from time to time.
When I see the pics of the Calgary guys on a bright sunny day with a mess of fish on the ice, I don't see anything negative about it.
Perhaps someone could set me straight. I'd sacrifice a couple of inches on the perch in my bucket if I could save 50 bucks worth of fuel. A couple big reasons. First one is they did'nt really have the money to do any massive stocking. Second they have to find a lake with a huge population of perch that did'nt have any illiness or worms or anything like that. Those perch in sundance by calgary have been classfied as pest basically So sundance and a bunch of people are on allout killing spree on them.
I really did'nt want to go into alot of detial but sundance is private so the hoards of fisherman have been kept out for some time. So there still a reasonably amount inchers left. If sundance was opened to everyone it be the same thing like hassie 90trucks a day and full of 4 inch perch. Theres alot more reasons 2 i just posted some of big ones. So i guess u won't be able to fill your freezer closer to the city. Oh wait nvm you won't be able to fill them anymore at all because your 2 lazy to find these lakes and no one will give u freebies anymore.
