City of Lacombe boosts recreational fishing with Alberta Conservation Association
LACOMBE- The City of Lacombe has announced a $3000 per year, five-year sponsorship with the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) to support fish stocking at the Len Thompson Fish Pond Park.
The municipal facility was created and is co-maintained by the Lacombe Fish and Game Association (LFGA).
“Council is definitely aware of the importance of the facility to the local fishing community, and of the angling pressures at the pond due to its increasing popularity,” said Mayor Grant Creasey.
Each year, ACA’s Fish Stocking Project stocks over 100,000 catchable-sized trout across the province to create “catch-and-release” fisheries.
