The assessment of 8 Alberta waterbodies
 

Here is a link to a very interesting study entitled ‘Assessment of 8 Alberta Waterbodies”.



https://open.alberta...ies-mar2016.pdf



The waterbodies studied are Dolberg Lake, Salter’s Lake, Muir Lake, Cardiff Pond, Black Nugget Lake, Dillberry Lake, Blood Indian Creek Reservoir and Tyrell Lake.

The report provides excellent bathymetric maps of the lakes.

I draw your attention to the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) tables showing DO measurements at various depths at various times in the year. E.g. In July on Dolberg, at 5m depth, the DO was 4.17ppm.

Tyrell used to produce awesome rainbow trout.

I see a few lakes that borderline look as though 1/3-1/2 of the lake is inhabitable for trout for half the year at a minimum.

I used to fish Tyrell a lot, troll up and down that channel that ran the whole length of the lake. I think the alkali finally finished the lake. Used to have to go wash both your boat and truck of all the salt after a day on the water, reel and line would also get coated with the salt. nasty stuff but they were great tasting rainbows. last I spoke to anyone who knows the lake all say it has had it's day Too bad
