12. Loon, Little Loon Lakes 



Angling restrictions were added during bass spawning (May 15 - June 30, 1 bass 

 daily, 22" minimum) to keep these wild populations self-sustaining. 



13. Banana Lake 



This lake has been reinfested with rough fish, probably during a flood of the 

 Pleasant Valley Fisher River. We'll probably plan a rehab in the next few years 

 to restore the trout fishery. 



Additional Work 



A moratorium was placed on brook trout stocking because they potentially compete and 

 hybridize with bull trout. We'll try to complete an EA in the next year to reinitiate brook 

 trout stocking where it's not a problem. 



A land trade was completed with Plum Creek Timber to secure additional shoreline on a 

 number of lakes. Facility developments have occurred or are planned at a number of 

 lakes (contact Parks Division). Regulations on motorboats have been placed on a number 

 of boats and a follow-up survey was conducted on support and compliance (contact 

 Enforcement Division).
