Beans Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm not sure if this is true but I was told many moons ago that the Trent-Severn runs over limestone and that pike do not tolerate the ph level...Maybe with all the cottages and run-off (fertilizer etc.) the ph level of the lakes and rivers has changed ??? Bay of Quinte and Georgian Bay have always had pike at both ends of the Trent-Severn...that doesn't explain why they are in Lake Simcoe though...

Ron Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Actually, Pike did not migrate from Seymore Lake (Campbellford) until after the Lift locks were installed. Before the locks, there was a natural barrier - Rainy Falls. On the other end, same thing, There was no real connection to Balsam Lake before the lift locks were installed from the Mitchel Lake side. Balsam Lake being the highest point of the TSW, originally water flow ended up in Bay of Quinte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
