Inland Ontario Lakes Designated for Lake Trout Management
Inland Ontario Lakes Designated for Lake Trout Management July 2015 . ISBN 978-1-4606-6257-1 (PDF) Fisheries Section Species Conservation Policy Branch Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry P.O. Box 7000, 300 Water Street Peterborough, ON K9J 8M5 “A prerequisite to the effective management of a resource is a knowledge of the distribution and magnitude of that resource.” Introductory sentence from “The Distribution and Characteristics of Ontario Lake Trout Lakes” (Martin and Olver 1976). ii Abstract Lake Trout lakes are rare. Only about one percent of Ontario’s lakes contain Lake Trout, but this represents 20-25% of all Lake Trout lakes in the world. The province, therefore, has a great responsibility to manage them wisely. OMNRF efforts to develop a coordinated strategy to protect Lake Trout populations in Ontario requires a comprehensive list of lakes currently designated for Lake Trout management. This report lists the inland Ontario lakes (exclusive of the Great Lakes) that are currently designated for Lake Trout management. In addition, the list classifies the lakes as to whether they are to be managed for naturally reproducing populations (‘Natural’ lakes) or as put-grow-take (‘P-G-T’) lakes. ‘Natural’ lakes include those lakes that may have lost populations but have been identified for rehabilitation. ‘P-G-T’ lakes are managed to provide recreational fishing opportunities and/or to direct angling effort away from more sensitive ‘Natural’ lakes. OMNRF policies or guidelines may be applied differently depending on the lake classification, or in other cases may be applied to both classifications in a similar manner. -
