Two weeks ago I was visiting friends in Regina, and ended up fishing Pasqua lake for a half a day....twice! Had a great time, caught some fish, and traded a few ice fishing tips from the Yukon.By the way, about that fish you guys call a tulibee. Several fisherman I talked with on the lake considered the a nuisance. I caught some about three pounds, filleted them and cooked them up for our hosts. First of all, there were no worms or cysts in any of the meat or along the backbone. Secondly, they look an awful lot like one of our species of whitefish. Lastly, everybody thought they were great!Ted
Yuck, they look alot like whites but I dont see myself wanting to eat them. Everyone weve ever opened up had worms, are you sure you didnt catch whites? You have me curious now.
There are quite a few nice whites in pasqua. The tulees don't really get to be as big as three pounds.
......Tullibees are also called Ciscos here in Sask. They do resemble whitefish, but tullibees have and upward turned mouth at the the tip of the snout and a whitefish's mouth is located below the tip of the snout............Also they usually don't get too large and the meat is usually full of tapeworm larva resembling little pockets of tapioca pudding.
Here are 2 photos of a tullibee/cisco I caught last winter at Echo Lake.
