When I went fishing as a youngster with my Dad and His friends in the early 60's We fished a lot of lakes around Elk Point, St. Paul and Bonnyville. What I now know as Walleye were at the time called Pickerel. Some of those lakes we fished were awesome for Walleye(pickerel) and now speaking to locals around those lakes Walleye are now almost nonexistent. I think back then Pickerel was a nickname that We used. I never heard the word Walleye untill the 80's.
