regulations state you can take 15 perch, but they didn't stock any this year. lake rehabilitation is underway. they haven't stocked for years because of high phosphorus causing kill. now they have aerators and trout stocked. but didn't say anything about Perch.

Such a wonderful fishery back in the late seventies. Hope it has some success.

Hopefully they see the same impact on perch in Hasse as we saw at Sundance. Browns and tigers will be good predators. In three years there could be jumbo perch and lots of trout if they put a size limit on them.

Agreed. i am very excited as the lake is 10 mins from my house so it will be a great little place to go and spend a day. i never keep any fish so ill be catch and release only.

I dont know if there was even a remnant population of perch left when they finally restocked it. It was virtually sterile for several years save for some sticklebacks.

ACA reported no sign of perch in the netting prior to stocking in May, just minnows. And I'm sure brown trout weren't stocked at Hasse. It was rainbows in the spring and rainbows and tigers in the fall. It took ACA four years to get the water quality back to a level that could support trout. This has and will continue to be an expensive reclaimation project. Hopefully the bucket brigade will stay away and Hasse will return to being a great trout fishery, especially for kids. Anyone looking for perch in the area should check out Star lake - nets set by hatchery staff one day this year produced 2 rainbows and 219 perch!

That’s awesome news if the perch all died off.
If stickleback and/or fathead minnows survived I find it is hard to believe all the perch died.
That being said...lots of predation will be a great check on any remaining perch.
Hope it’s an awesome fishery!

I don't think the perch died off, IIRC they poisoned the lake to kill the perch and stocked minnows. A year or two later (this year) they stocked trout.
I could be wrong - but this is what I read somewhere (that was going to be the plan).

I did an exploratory fishin mission on that lake 3 or 4 yrs ago, fished it hard to see if any survivors, not a Perch to be found in there. Trout should do well if they can get them to over winter.

With the amount of people fishing now in and around Edmonton it'll never be like it was in the 70s and early 80s I don't think

If you want to make Hasse into a decent fishery again its probably best to ask for this thread to be deleted and keep the information to yourself. Any lake close to a major city will get hit hard and fast once it become public online. We've seen it many times on this forum. It seems like for every honest fisherman here there are 50 who just leech information.

There’s already videos of it on the Facebook fishing pages.
They see a ton of traffic. Too late.

You don't think people can read a stocking report or pick up on the ACA Facebook feed?
This is a well known, stocked lake close to a couple million people not an unamed perch lake north of LacLaBiche.
