Haha, yup, it was an April fools joke (I'm the one who wrote it) I was figuring that the algonquinmap.co domain + the fact that there was only a single post would give it away

Nope. Last year was a record breaker - March 26th. That's not normal though. http://www.canoelake.ca/iceout/historical-ice-out-dates.html

Kathlyn L doesn't have Smallmouth in it - otherwise I'd agree The Sasajewun research station is for wildlife - that I'm certain. I'm not sure if that covers amphibians or not, but I'd expect it'd only cover flora in the context of wildlife.

Very good to know! Thanks Here's what one of the fisheries guys I talked to said: "Fascinating. I've never caught a smallmouth in Grand Lake, or in St. Andrews or Stratton L for that matter, despite them being identified as a species in each (and having fished Grand and St. Andrews). I'd remove SB from those 3 lakes. We surveyed Grand L in 1990 using gill nets and seines and didn't catch any smallmouth and I too have seen people fishing for them using jitterbugs and such. Never seen anyone catch any either but I just continued to assume they were there. Grand, Stratton and St. Andrews do have rock bass. Ironic that smallies wouldn't be there with all the traffic, easy access and size of her."

Lack of brook + lake trout You too Cookslav! Oh sorry, my misunderstanding. I hadn't realized what you meant when you said 'the AP bio'. I'm really curious about Sasajewun being seasonal since it's dammed. There must be awfully little water coming down the North Madawaska if that's the case. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out in the summer . If I do I'll report back. Fingers crossed. Wouldn't that be a change from last year eh?

Ok, got my answer - "The ROM survey (1990/91) identified brookies and the MNR lake (1958) survey id'ed lakers. She apparently was stocked with artic char a few years after that (of course the artic char are long gone). She may be fished out, small enough for it to happen." What's your source for the lack of fish today?

Then I have succeeded

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm really glad you find it useful Good question . I have two people who've done fisheries research in the park contributing the info. I've sent them an inquiry about Kathlyn L - thanks for the info! Wonderful . I hope you get a lot of use out of it Let me know what you think Thanks a bunch. OFC looks like a great forum!

I hope you find the map useful . Just shoot me an email if you have any questions. Oh, and corrections are always appreciated
