Fisheries management planning is a key component of recreational fisheries management in Ontario. This operational framework provides the building blocks for improving the way recreational fisheries are managed in Ontario. Fisheries management planning is consistent with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s (MNRF) current five-year strategic plan, Naturally Resourceful, and the goals and objectives of the Ontario Biodiversity Strategy. It is also aligned with the fisheries policy principles stated in Ontario's current Provincial Fish Strategy– Fish for the Future. The plan identifies monitoring that will take place to ensure that progress is being made towards meeting the management objectives and targets. The plan is a dynamic document designed to be flexible and adaptable to a wide range of future conditions and will be amended as required, with assistance from the Advisory Council and Indigenous Communities. Purpose and scope of the plan The FMZ 11 Management Plan was developed by MNRF with input and advice from the FMZ 11 Advisory Council, which is made up of a group of anglers, stakeholders, researchers, and interested community members. Input and advice were also sought from Indigenous communities whose traditional territories fall within the zone landscape. The planning area extends from Temiskaming Shores in the north to Trout Creek and the northern boundary of Algonquin Park in the south. The eastern boundary is the Ottawa River south of Mattawa and extends west to Highway 69, south of the French River (Figure 1). The fisheries management plan identifies management strategies and proposes actions to meet the stated goals and objectives. The plan also documents and describes recreational fishing regulation changes that were implemented January 1st, 2020, based on advice from the FMZ advisory council and following broad iii Management Plan for FMZ 11 consultation during 2018/19. The intent of the plan is to assist MNRF in balancing the demands placed on the resource with the biological capacity of the supporting ecosystems. This balance is based on analysis of fisheries data and collaborative discussions with members of the public, government and partner agencies, Indigenous communities and non-governmental agencies. Goal statements: • Fish Populations: Manage for the improvement of fisheries, including healthy natural fish populations, beyond a minimally sustainable condition; enhance harvest and recreational usage while providing a safe food source. • Aquatic Ecosystems: While minimizing the risk of invasive species, maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems and restore damaged aquatic ecosystems. • Education: Improve the general public’s respect for natural resources, their awareness of ethical practices around aquatic ecosystems and their knowledge of regulatory principles and practices. • Socio-Economic: Provide diverse ways for users to experience and interact with resources and support a fair valuation of the resources in order to promote socio-economic benefits from resource usage. Management objectives: The management plan is comprised of a series of broad management strategies that reflect management priorities within the zone. Each strategy identifies management issues, challenges, present status, and associated objectives and management actions for the following: • Management of Walleye, Lake Trout, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Brook Trout, Northern Pike and Muskellunge • Fish stocking • Ecosystem changes • Fish habitat • Water levels These strategies, although target-specific, are largely consistent with the following objectives: • To increase or maintain fish abundance iv Management Plan for FMZ 11 • To develop a habitat protection and restoration strategy To increase public awareness of fisheries management • To work with partners to provide sustainable fishing opportunities • To prevent the arrival, establishment and/or spread of non-native and invasive species Walleye management The current Walleye regulations (four fish, none between 43cm and 60cm, not more than one over 60cm) initiated in 2008 were implemented in order to support population stability and an increase of fish of preferred sizes. After careful review, the decision was made to retain the current recreational angling Walleye regulations, but also to commit to ongoing review of Walleye monitoring data as it becomes available to inform future management actions. Lake trout management The status of natural Lake Trout waters in the zone is poor and has been characterized as unhealthy for decades. The Plan objectives for Lake Trout are thus to increase overall abundance, and specifically, to increase the abundance of adult Lake Trout within the zone. The plan describes actions implemented to achieve these objectives through modification of Lake Trout seasons and limits. The regulation change also included a size restriction on natural and diversionary lakes, with the restriction determined by the known growth rates of Lake Trout within a waterbody. Lake Temagami will also have a catch and release season during the month of September. Listed below are the former regulations and regulation changes implemented January 1st, 2020 for Lake Trout: v Management Plan for FMZ 11 Items Former regulations Regulation change Season February 15 to third February 15 to third Sunday in Sunday in March and third March and third Saturday in May Saturday in May to to Labour Day.

    Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes

    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

    Physical and Biological Description of the Watershed 2.1 Physical and Biological Description Matabitchuan River Watershed 2.1.1 Physical Description The Matabitchuan River system watershed has a total area of about 933 km2 and is a tributary system to Lake Temiskaming and the Ottawa River Drainage Basin. The Matabitchuan Watershed is bounded by the Montreal River watershed to the north and to the Lake Temagami watershed to the south and west, (Lake Huron Drainage Basin.) The main tributaries include: Net, Cassels, Rabbit, Fourbass Lakes and the Matabitchuan River. There is one generating station, the Matabitchuan GS and three water control dams on the system. A large portion of the Matabitchuan watershed is located within the municipal boundaries of Temagami. Beginning in the north western region of the watershed, headwater tributaries for Net Lake include: Snare, Jackpine, Mountain, Thieving Bear, Kanichee and Rib Lakes. Net Lake is located approximately six km north of the Town of Temagami on Highway 11. Water levels for the lake are controlled by a two-sluice gate / weir concrete dam located at the outflow of the lake into Net Creek. The dam is owned and operated by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The dam, originally a timber crib structure built by the Temagami Timber Company in 1920, was replaced with the current concrete dam by the MNR in 1974. The Net Creek Dam is operated for social / environmental considerations, to a regulated water level of 296.16 m. The lake provides recreational and economic opportunities for residents, cottagers and at present, one tourist camp operator; in addition to supplying domestic water for the Temagami North Town site.
