Lake Aldwell - Fish Population

Fish Population

Lake Aldwell was home to a population of kokanee sockeye salmon from Indian Creek and Lake Sutherland which, unable to access the Pacific Ocean used the reservoir as their "ocean" during their adult lives. These salmon access the reservoir via Indian Creek and spawn in Lake Sutherland, just below Lake Crescent. The lake also contained landlocked bull trout, rainbow trout, and a population of introduced eastern brook trout.

Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or population:

    The fish in neighboring streams and lakes are so voracious, it is said, that fishermen have to stand out of sight behind trees while baiting their hooks.
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
