Plenty of lakes around Edm to catch a Perch. If you want to catch a few to keep for the frying pan you'll need to travel quite a distance further for that.

I guess someone decided walleyes were the way to go at the expense of other species. It's happening in gull right now and sylvan is a couple years away from being a runty walleye lake too.
