Meet the G Litter!
We are so excited to introduce the G Litter, sponsored by the amazing staff at Len Thompson Lures!
When we asked for a sponsor for the litter, Jess, at Len Thompson Lures messaged us, and hoped that they could sponsor the litter, in memory of one of their staff members beloved pets who had passed, named Gus.
And for Gus, they also named this litter names that started with G - to honor him as well.
We were so happy to honour this request, and truly, their G names fit them so well. And this could be the first time their mama has ever had a real name.
These pups aren't quite ready for adoption, as they are still growing (and thriving) in a foster home along with their Mama, an obvious husky cross, now named Ginny. Keep an eye on the page over the next week or two as we share everything we learn about them as they grow!
A huge thank you to everyone at Len Thompson Lures for caring about these little fuzz butts, and for ensuring that their future will be happy and healthy! ❤
This year, Lacombe was lucky enough to receive two truck loads of retired broodstock Brown Trout from the Allison Creek Brood Trout Station. These fish are 4 years old and are around 8lbs! Approximately 50 fish went into Len Thompson Pond, and 25 into the Powell Pond (North East Trout Pond) which is located behind the Lacombe Police Station.
We get asked a lot of questions about the Len Thompson Pond. Here are a few quick FAQs.
1. Is the pond open to the public?
YES! The pond is City of Lacombe property, managed by the Lacombe Fish and Game association. The pond is named after Len Thompson, and we are volunteers and supporters of the LFGA, but this is not a private pond.
2. Is it catch and release?
Catch and release is strongly encouraged. We believe that community spaces like this are designed to create accessible fishing opportunities. Nothing makes LFGA volunteers happier than seeing a kid reel in their first fish.
3. Do you need a license?
All persons sportfishing in Alberta are required to hold an Alberta Sportfishing Licence, except: Youths under 16 years of age, Alberta residents aged 65 and older, First Nations’ Persons (defined as an Indian under the federal Indian Act). Alberta resident Canadian Armed Forces Veterans are also eligible for a free sportfishing licence.
