that Walleye is why I don't like fishing the NSR. At least around Edmonton. If a fish probably isn't going to survive I want to at least be able to eat them without worrying about mercury and shit. Good catches, though!

Yeah, its pretty tough... My grandpa has eaten walleye from the NSR for as long as he can remember and he is healthy. I imagine the early colonists around here ate from it as well. I've heard its mostly the sediment that contains the mercury, I really hope its not us humans ruining it.

It's not recommended but you can! The mercury levels are pretty high and they suggest no more than 1-2 a week.

You can have up to 3 hooks on your line at once in Alberta. I'm using a pickerel rig here which has 2 single point hooks and a pyramid weight on the bottom.

You may be able to jig with a green jig but I never really use lures at the river. It's so murky that you need bait. The fish will hunt with their scent usually rather than their sight.

You shouldnt hold the fish and squeeze it by the gills put your thumb inside of the gills and if the fish won’t swim away rub them on the side

@@danielfrechette2938 Gold eye have wayyy to small of mouths to lock jaw. They're also tricky because the bigger ones are like a football and you cant wrap your hand around them. They're just completely awkward. And walleye - everything on them wants to hurt you lol. I've learned to grab them by the belly.

I was fishing in Canada - the North Saskatchewan River it's called. I think they're also invasive here but according to the fishing guidelines they're catch and release only so I don't think we can shwak 'em.

Some do, some don't. Lots of Edmonton's waste gets into the NSR. If you go more remote its likely not the worst thing to do.

I usually run the Ugly Stik Gx2 combo in this river with some pretty hefty line. Not only is it a fast running river with lots of debrie but it also has the occasional sturgeon in it.

Nice! Most of the Gold Eye were on a silver Mepps. The walleye were on the pickerel rig with night crawlers. It's not a bad spot but it can be very slippery. I might see you down there sometime, if not, let me know how it goes!

Kruks I’m pretty sure I actually saw you one time! I checked out your channel and i watched he video of you catching a pike 2 weeks ago and me and my dad were there with you! We were the ones to your right behind the bushes. A few minutes later a family came and caught some fish. Me and my dad got skunked :( but thats how it goes sometimes

Oh, that was down at Whitemud creek! I liked that place at first but after a while I lost interest. That location seems very pressured which makes fishing very hit or miss. I rarely see people at my spot and I end up catching more.
