Brian, the intent of my previous post was not to expose you. seems many posting on this thread knew who you were anyways? question though, if you're "the walleye guy" as being described here by your peers where have you been? i don't get you just showing up on the board with a random post stating the new closer info out of the blue. you obviously have a wealth of knowledge you could share with the board. i sincerely hope you stick around and do so.
another question to all. why not longer, or a complete closure? again I'll post some very popular alberta waters with such complete closures or longer spring closures. are the walleye in travers not quite ready for the full blanket treatment?

CLOSED all year.
Sylvan Lake & tributaries –
the portion of lake southwest of a line drawn from the northeastern most tip of the landfill pier in Sylvan Lake Provincial Park located at NW 33-38-1-W5M due northwest to the point on the shoreline where the boundary between the town of Sylvan Lake and the Summer Village of Norglenwold meet the lake located at NE 32-38-1-W5M.

you're absolutely correct. precisely why a later date (30 days, end of June) would be a real benefit to the fish.

really? what the heck does that mean. newly introduced species to the province or what? were not talking bass fishing in alberta here. i'm sorry, but that's one bizarre statement.
