Chappel Fish & Wildlife Supervisor Killala Lake is now set aside for the pri- mary purpose of producing lake trout eggs for the provincial fish hatchery program. For this reason angling for any species will be allowed only during the summer season from June 15 to September 15. Killala Lake, the largest and one of the most scenic inland lakes in the Terrace Bay District, is located approximately 16 miles north of Neys Provincial Park. The Deadhorse forest access road presently under construc- tion may eventually make the lake accessible by road. However, at present, access can only be gained by all terrain vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft. The lake is well known for its thriving lake trout population. For the past three years the Ministry of Natural Resources has been using the lake for the collection of lake trout spawn. In 1974 the spawn collection crew collected 303,000 fertilized eggs, in 1975 = 426,000 eggs and this fall over 500,000 eggs were collected. The eggs are shipped by aircraft to our fish hatchery in Dorion. The young lake trout pro- duced from these eggs are used to stock Lake Superior and inland lakes in Northwestern Ontario. Lake trout lakes are of vital concern to the fisheries management program in Ontario. There are about 2000 lake trout lakes in Ontario. which comprises approximately 50% of the world": supply of lakes suitable for lake trout. BY surface area we possess 80% of the world's lake trout waters. Many lake trout populations have been subjected to such pressures as over exploitation by both commercial and sport fish- ing, water pollution and the accidental introd- uction of non-native fish species which either compete with or prey on lake trout. The need for conservation of our lake trout fish stocks has become very evident during the past decade. Not long ago Ontario had to purchase lake trout eggs from outside the province to meet its commitments to the Great Lakes stocking program. Fortunately we have been able to de- velop some spawn collection areas of our own. In this process Killala Lake has become a major producer yielding 70% of the total number of lake trout eggs collected from wild stock in Ontario. Lake Manitou on Manitoulan Island produces the other 30%. The remainder of our require- ments is produced from adult brood stock in our hatcheries. Continued page 18 .....
