This is the location of the boat launch

launch is in rough shape with huge ruts that can be problematic and will get worse if not cared for now

Popular Burnstick Lake (also spelled Burntstick) is home to walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Be sure to bring a boat, though, as there is little to no shore access apart from the boat launch. Fishing can be bountiful here, though it may take some figuring to land some of the larger ones. For beginners, Burnstick Lake is a great place to learn skills. The lake is not stocked and there is a limit of five perch and one pike over 63 cm. For walleye, it is catch-and-release only. “Four-pound walleye caught on the same perch Rapala for hookin’ all the pike,” reads a comment on the Angler’s Atlas website, www.anglersatlas.com/place/723940/burnstick-lake. The post continues: “Catch ’em and let ’em go, you old boys. Even if your mouth does water at the thought of eating them. [Walleye] are way more fun to catch than the pike, so put ’em back! They just keep getting bigger every year!” LAKE ACCESS Located south of Rocky Mountain House. Follow Hwy. 22 for 37 km to the junction with Hwy. 54. Turn left and continue five km to a side road on the right, which is the turnoff to Burnstick Lake. Follow this road for 15 km as it passes the eastern shore of the lake. There is a campground on Burnstick Lake with 63 sites and potable water, open from May to October.

Perch anywhere?

I heard there is good perch fishing here somewhere, anyone have any hotspots? Or any spots, for that matter? Would love for my two girls to catch some perch, they have only caught pike and walleye and they really would like a perch.
