Default Bass Alberta

Years ago, talking 80's, Island Lake is correct but it was a man made lake past Smokey Lake, near Mons. Island lake was just a name locals made up. It was a pilot project for bass. One of two. For about 7 years you could, if lucky get a bass. Perch fishing on the lake at that time was nuts. Alberta record is from this lake. I have seen a 3 lb 8 oz perch from this lake in the old days. The man who caught it, did not care for the record. He only cared about perch. On 1 weekend when I was young, my friend and I caught 5 perch over 3 lbs. I have a picture to prove that statement.
I scanned and forwarded the picture to Willowtrail, my BIL, as I have no idea how to post a picture. Last Bass caught from this lake by record was 2004.
I have tried for perch since then, the lake has draw back atleast 120 feet.
For the most part, in my opinion, the lake is dead.
