 Spring Closure 2000
On February 23, 2000, Alberta Environment announced that sportfishing for all species of gamefish will be banned in Prairie Region of southern Alberta from April 1 to May 8 to help protect or enhance pike, walleye and perch populations.
The published reason Alberta Environment gives for the closures is, "Our fish populations are under heavy sportfishing pressure and the numbers of large fish have declined." Before moving to Coaldale in July, 1999, I frequently fished for pike in four lakes near Brooks.
There are others lakes around Brooks (and presumably elsewhere in southern Alberta) where pike numbers have declined, and Alberta Environment is to be commended for reducing the daily catch limit to three pike per day in 1999.
