I'm in Alberta, so most of our lakes are fished out except for up north a bit more. Our licences are a bit more too (and you have to buy a WIN card to get a licence). My parents have a lake lot and I go fishing there a lot but there is nothing much left except jack/pike that are too small to keep. No bass here...if you're lucky (which I never am) you get walleye....but again, many lakes you aren't allowed to keep the walleye. Perch are supposed to be the best eating around here. I think the next time I go I'll try for perch. Jackfish aren't my cup of tea.
