Quality lake regulations on an existing lake vs BUILDING a quality prairie trout lake
In Alberta, I think option number 1 is the only thing I'm going to see in my lifetime.

Rainbows and Bulls in LKL. They are using different streams to spawn in. I don't think the spring spawning will ever be significant enough to harm the Bull trout. Very cold water and limited habitat. When future gill netting surveys are done on LKL, I'm sure the bios will look at the growth rates and determine if Cutt stocking densities need to be altered.

I've fished lots of quality lakes in BC along the Columbia/Kootenay valleys and around Kamloops. It's nice to go to a lake where the catch rates for trout over even 18" are quite high. A few more in Alberta would keep me from leaving the province every summer.
