Large Rainbow Trout From Stocked Lake
The rainbow trout pictured by Bill Harper came from an 87 acre lake north of The Pas stocked in May 1972 by the Department of Mines Resources and Environmental Management for trout farming feasibility. Webb Thorvaldson, the lake licensee, released 10 000 fingerlings this spring and netted about 100 stockies in May. A large mesh net yielded 7 rainbow trout averaging 6 pounds, weights from 4 pounds 8 ounces to 7 pounds 6 ounces, after 29 months in water.
