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.

Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or species:
“My face is muffled in my mother’s clothing. Her rhinestones injure me. See: my feet are going. Fish flee the forefinger of my aunt. The sun streams over the geraniums. What has this to do with what I feel, with what I am.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits—inasmuch as these two species always exist—occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
