I would not get too excited about it. Lac La Biche has been stocked with plenty of Walleye over the past 15 years. Looks like the stocking isn't taking hold as well as it did on lakes like Pigeon. They must be having issues with establishing a self-sustaining population on Lac La Biche. Keep in mind they are only stocking Walley fry so it will be a good 4 years before they catchable. 38,000,000 is one hell of alot of of fish thou. I wonder who counted them?

It is really good to see that have started the Walleye stocking program again. It was stopped due to budget cuts a few years back. I think it is essential for Alberta to have a Walleye stocking program in place to help maintain healthy populations in our very few lakes that get so much angling pressure.
