Fish Species
The fish species include northern pike, rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout, burbot, common carp, white sucker and shorthead redhorse. The river along with Lake Diefenbaker are the only two bodies of water in Saskatchewan that support a reproducing population of rainbow trout. There is concern that Asian carp, particularly Silver carp may spread up the river and the other south flowing rivers that drain into the Milk River, like the Frenchman River.
