Bass Spawning Assessment
Steve during our 2025 AGM spoke about bass spawning sanctuaries and inclusion of Troy lake in the study. Dr. Dave Philipp from the Fisheries Conservation Foundation (FCF) from Chicago is the key researcher along with team members from Carleton University. They have been observing bass spawning areas in Lake Opinicon and Charleston Lake for the past few years. They got approval to designate on a short term basis bass spawning sanctuaries to observe success rates versus other areas in the same lakes.
