[Talking moose]

Never looked at before, but had a look tonight. Alberta Lakeland sponsor has some great tips and hotspots for people not that familiar with the area. 18 threads and a good read on Lakeland lakes. Check it out if you plan on fishing the region.

Great tips that were valid +5 years ago.

As much of the lakes in the Lakeland area are/were some of the last lakes in the province where catch and keeping limits still exist, with the opportunity to keep a fish a lot of angler focus concentrated onto these lakes in recent years so much so that most of them sadly are collapsing or have already collapsed.

Have a look at the regs for Touchwood, Pinehurst, Crane, Seibert, Wolf, Elinor, Beaver, Marie, Tucker. All greatly reduced and scaled back as they did in central Alberta in the 90's.

Even the Deer population has decreased dramatically and it never has been a great area for Moose hunting. Lots of Bears however.

Smoke and mirrors.

Funny how all the walleye numbers in the lakes mentioned are all fine or going up. It is only the pike, perch and perhaps white fish numbers that appear to be collapsing.
