  • Magnetawan River Tributary Report
    Magnetawan River Fish Habitat Assessment Executive Summary The Eastern Georgian Bay Stewardship Council (EGBSC) received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada to carry out a 32-month project to assess spawning, nursery, rearing, and foraging habitat in eight tributaries to eastern Georgian Bay, including the Magnetawan River. Fish habitat assessments were focused on Walleye, Lake Sturgeon, and Sucker species, between the river mouths and the first major spawning area or barrier to fish passage. The Magnetawan River is a large watershed with a complex system of dams for water level management, governed by the Magnetawan River Water Control Operating Plan. For the downstream portion of the Magnetawan River, flow is mainly controlled by two dams at the Ahmic Lake outlet. A south branch of the Magnetawan River flows into the Naiscoot River, and another portion of the south branch flows back into the main branch of the Magnetawan River at Miner Lake. It has been documented that flow rates can fluctuate dramatically from year to year, and within each year. The fluctuation of water levels has led to concern from Magnetawan First Nation, EGBSC, and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) staff over the potential impact on Walleye reproductive success and recruitment. EGBSC’s 2016 Magnetawan River habitat assessment built upon other Walleye studies and reports that recommended follow up monitoring of water level and flow fluctuations. In addition, the area and extent of Walleye habitat at Deadman’s Rapids, the first set of rapids upstream from Georgian Bay, had not been documented, which was also a part of this study.

  • Surviving Fisheries Management: Angling, Aquaculture, and Lake Ahmic
    SURVIVING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT: ANGLING, AQUACULTURE, AND LAKE AHMIC Michael David Del Vecchio SUBMITTED INPARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ART IN HISTORY NIPISSING UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES NORTH BAY, ONTARIO © Michael David Del Vecchio September 2010 i Abstract The vast majority of inland waters in Ontario have been designated as purely recreational fisheries. Environmental historians who study human-fish relations have demonstrated the influence of anglers in the establishment of fishing regulations and fisheries management policies that sought to maximize fish resources for sport fishing and fishing tourism. To achieve this goal, aquaculture programs were conducted throughout Ontario that artificially reared fish and planted them in lakes. For over a century, from approximately 1860-1960, the Ontario government relied on aquaculture as a blanket solution to all fishery problems. Over the past fifty years, fisheries science has questioned the ecological benefits of stocking programs. Stocking efforts in the province have been drastically reduced since the 1960s but have continued largely because of grass root initiatives from concerned anglers. Lake Ahmic is home to a small cottage community based out of the village of Magnetawan. The lake has been stocked with a variety of fish species for over a hundred years. In addition to this, several species have been accidentally introduced to Lake Ahmic altering its ecological balance. Between 1987 and 2006, a local angling organization was responsible for initiating and running a walleye-stocking program on Lake Ahmic. In 2006, to the disappointment of the local anglers and greater Magnetawan community, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources canceled the stocking program.

Daytime high temperatures of 9-15 degrees are forecasted through to next Tuesday with night-time temperature of 0- 5 degrees. The substantial snow pack that still remains across local watersheds continues to melt at a moderate rate with inflows into local river systems. Today’s rainfall with warmer temperatures over the next few days and any additional rainfall amounts is expected to increase the rate of snow pack melt and resulting runoff. Flows within the Big East River, Town of Huntsville continue to drop and are currently at 61 cms as of 6:00 am. The Town reports that high water levels are currently being experienced in the downtown core area by Lake Vernon as peak Big East River flows continue to pass downstream through the north branch of the Muskoka River system. Water levels within the Huntsville Lakes; Vernon, Fairy and Peninsula are currently above the Normal Operating Range. Lake Vernon is currently near the start of the High Water Zone which may cause additional high water or flooding concerns in known vulnerable locations. Flows in the north branch of the Muskoka River will continue to rise at a relatively slow rate as melt waters and previously high Big East River flows continue to pass through the river system.
