Trout spawn in areas where there is typically upwelling springs. These springs tend to keep the interspacial areas clear of debris in the redd thereby increasing egg survival. These upwellings are transient depending on upstream bottom configuration which may vary from year to year. Don

Brian, In the hundreds of fish pumped out lakes west of Highway #2, I’ve only seen shrimp in Cow Lake. I think the pH doesn’t favour them. Last pH I saw out of Beaver were sub 7 regards, Don

Komp, Wander into the weed growth and see the pile of minnows, that will make you a believer. Don

I did the same thing yesterday picking up Tigers and rainbows using a very simple minnow pattern. Floating long belly WF with 14’ leader. Don

Just to be contrary, forget the motor and battery and row. The exercise will aid in longer life and more fishing. I own a motor and haven’t used it for many years. Don

Folks, Prairie Creek SW of Rocky was subjected to a water diversion to supply frac water in late December 2021. The diversion flow was incorrectly calculated for a host of reasons. This may have resulted in a fish kill in the section that is closed to protect the spawners. Please take the time to read the info and write whatever Govt agency and make sure you copy your MLA. Here is further information on the Prairie Creek Water Diversion. http://bamboorods.ca/Prairie%20Creek%20Water%20Diversion%20-%20web.html Please take the time to read it and write a letter or two. Make sure you copy your MLA. regards, Don

What I find curious is why the concept of build it and they will come! if Beaver Lake was a business, the owner would make or build another instead we have Twin Lake where perhaps one fishing boat is afloat. Struble is much the same why does the Govt worship mediocrity? Don

Really, in many waters they never existed. They invaded. Don
