Looks like N. Wabasca needs to recover, but I bet it won’t take long...
I guess I’m a glass half-full guy. If you would have told me 20+ years ago that I could catch more than 10 decent lakers at Cold Lake in a day, or have a fish-full day on Lac Ste. Anne, I wouldn’t have believed it. That’s not mismanagement of fish, it’s mismangement of perspective and expectations. It’s easy to forget how bad the fishing was in the 90s.
Plus, now we also have some tiger trout.
That said, I do think it’s about time to focus on making perch fishing great again...
