"Home in Halifax" ... that's the one. St Mary's Lake on Saltspring Island
British Columbia once had some great smallmouth bass and cutthroat trout.
It's now loaded with perch. The bass fishing is still ok but the perch have
over populated the lake in 5 years. Okanagan Lake - lots of perch ditto for
Pinaus Lake. Pinaus used to be a great spot for trout - not anymore. We have
a plague of illegally introduced fish from back east - Largemouth, Perch and
even Pike. No one's ever been caught - where do they get all those fish?
