  • 2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment Final.Pdf
    2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment December 1, 2011 Prepared for: Thunder Bay District Stewardship Council & Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Thunder Bay, ON Prepared by: Dr. Robert F. Foster 2011 Current River Assessment ABSTRACT Fish habitat mapping and electrofishing was conducted between August 31 and September 23, 2011 on the Current River below the Boulevard Lake dam and its mouth at Lake Superior. A total of 1063 fish of 10 species were caught during 10,976 seconds of electrofishing. Large fish species included one adult and five young of the year (YOY) walleye, 63 rainbow trout, 3 brook trout, and 32 YOY white sucker. Bedrock substrate comprises approximately 71% of the approximately 47,500 m2 of channel habitat, with cobble comprising much of the rest, particularly in middle reaches near Cumberland Street. During the drought conditions observed during the survey, only 44% of the channel below the high water mark was wetted. Although pool habitats represent only about 35% of the wetted habitat at low flows, they provide significant fish habitat. In particular, the bedrock pools above the generating station encompass approximately about 2000 m2 or 8% of the total channel area above the GS, but contained 477 fish of eight species. These fish habitat values have implications for water management planning, particularly minimum flows requirements in the bypass reach and its relation to leakage flows. Cover photo: Current River below Boulevard Lake Dam on September 2011 2 2011 Current River Assessment 1 INTRODUCTION Several potential fish habitat issues have been identified for the lower reaches of the Current River between Boulevard Lake and Lake Superior including: stranding of anadromous fish e.g., rainbow trout in or below the fish ladder below the Boulevard Lake Dam; potentially poor recruitment of walleye due to limited spawning success poor spawning runs of rainbow smelt due to inappropriate flow regimes; and other potential, unidentified impacts on spawning and nursery habitat for native fish species (e.g.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2005
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2005 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 10-01 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

  • Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District, Ontario
    Thunder Bay Field Naturalists Checklist of Fish es of Thunder Bay District , Ontario 31 December 2019 Introduction This first edition of Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District adds to existing checklists prepared by members of the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (TBFN) covering other vertebrate taxa (mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians), as well vascular plants, butterflies, and odonates. As with these other checklists, it covers the official judicial District of Thunder Bay (Figure 1). The District extends from the eastern border of Quetico Provincial Park east to White River, and from the international border north to Lake St. Joseph and the Albany River. Much of the District (60%) is within the Great Lakes watershed, with the remaining draining into the Arctic Ocean either north via the Hudson Bay Lowlands, or west via Rainy Lake/Lake of the Woods and the Nelson River watershed. Figure 1. Judicial District of Thunder Bay with primary watersheds and protected areas. 2 The fish species of the Thunder Bay District mostly reflect post-glacial colonization, modified by more recent ecological and anthropogenic influences. The Wisconsinan ice mass began to retreat north of Lake Superior circa 10,700 BP (Farrand and Drexler 1985), allowing fish to initially colonize the Thunder Bay area (Momot and Stephenson 1996). The Marquette advance circa 9900 BP likely wiped out these early colonizers, but its retreat around 9700 BP allowed many species access from glacial refugia in the Mississippi River basin to the south (Mandrak and Crossman 1992b; Stephenson and Momot 1994). Some species invaded from the east via the outlet of Lake Minong and Lake Superiors’ other post-glacial predecessors.

Upper Great Lakes Management Unit Miscellaneous Report 11-01. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Thunder Bay, ON. 51 pp. 1 CHRONOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT on the CURRENT RIVER INTRODUCTION The Current River (fr. Riviere aux Courants) is a large tributary which flows from its headwaters at Current Lake (N48o 37’ W89o 11’) 63 kilometres to Lake Superior at Thunder Bay, in the north end of the City of Thunder Bay (formerly Port Arthur). The river is characterized by a high gradient and numerous rapids, particularly in its lower reach; notwithstanding the current reservoir at Boulevard Lake (N48o 27’ W89o 11’) the final 10 kilometres of the Current River comprise a continuous set of falls and rapids culminating in Current River Falls, a 12m vertical drop over the final 650m of the river. Most of this area is currently protected through a series of municipal parks and conservation areas. Upstream of the Cascades Conservation Area (N48o 30’ W89o 13’), development along the river corridor includes residential properties, forest harvesting, and a large aggregate quarry; despite this, the upper reach of the Current River remains in a near-natural state.

    2.0 Watershed Description Watershed Characterization Map # 1 – Source Water Protection Region Map Binder – Map Sleeve #1 This map illustrates the jurisdictional boundary of the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority and the scientific watershed boundary of Lakehead Source Protection Area as regulated under the “Clean Water Act, 2006”. 2.1 Stakeholders and Partners 2.1.1 Municipalities Since the mid- 1990's, expansion of urban areas, changes in responsibilities of local government and provincial government initiatives have led to a wave of Municipal mergers. The changes saw some counties and regional Municipalities merge with their constituent local Municipalities. As a result, the number of Municipalities in Ontario was reduced by more than 40 per cent between 1996 and 2004, from 815 to 445. In June 1997, the Township of Paipoonge and the Township of Oliver were amalgamated into the Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge. By January of 1999, the amalgamation of Neebing Township with the surrounding unorganized Townships of Pearson and Scoble was complete, creating the Municipality of Neebing which also includes the Geographic Townships of Pardee, Crooks and Blake. The Lakehead Rural Planning Board The Lakehead Rural Planning Board is a regional planning board whose jurisdictional area is defined by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Planning Board's membership includes both Municipal and unincorporated area representation. The Board is the approval authority for land severance and plans of subdivision for the Municipalities of Oliver Paipoonge and Neebing, Townships of Conmee, O'Connor, and Gillies and the Unincorporated Townships of Gorham, Ware and the portion of the Dawson Road Lots located east of the Kaministiquia River.

  • The Kaministiquia River
    Reacquaint the Waters of History The Kaministiquia River By Sarah C.R. Mitchell A practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Department of Landscape Architecture Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB Copyright © 2014 by Sarah C.R. Mitchell Dedicated to my parents, Dan & Linda, without whom this would have been impossible Above: At Kakabeka Falls during spring flooding,photograph by Heidi Mitchell, 2012 Cover Photo of this Document: View across Lake Superior towards the Sleeping Giant from Mission Island at the Kaministiquia River Delta ii Cover Photo on Album Case: View of the Kaministiquia Delta and the Nor’Westers from the air, photograph by Ben Mitchell, 2013 Abstract The modern interaction we have with the natural environment surrounding our cities is often limited to designated areas that usually contain manicured trails and other well-signed features. When information is very limited or absent we often avoid exploring such areas and instead opt for others both familiar and easily accessible. Mapping as a means to engage a community is a method that encourages exploration and discovery. Often there are hidden treasures of our communities’ backyards that have nearly been lost to time and memory. The opportunities and experiences that such places can offer are too rich to be lost forever. This practicum is an attempt to reconnect and engage residents and visitors of Thunder Bay, Ontario, with the historically significant Kaministiquia River. It focuses on the Kaministiquia from Kakabeka Falls to Lake Superior.
