It’s the same darn story on many Alberta waters,, just to darn many people. And we all witness it out there so many people just don’t know how to handle fish after a catch. The only way to save a river like that is close it down for a few years.

I see the same thing on Cold Lake every winter, it absolutely disgusts me. You come out there some time on a weekend after February, it’s like a town out there, and with today’s equipment -20 doesn’t stop people any more. Pull fish out letting them freeze, just so they can get a pic. Trout are notorious bleeders, you go out and drive around those holes after a weekend it looks like an MMA fight took place out there. Keep the fish or not it’s a slaughter.

Sorry for the rant but we see this on so many waters this day and age. Because of the internet everyone’s a hot shot now.
