=EF=BB=BF Now Dave a question. Is the Cornwallis River in Kings?
</div>=20
<div>
It has a good population of both Brookies and Browns.=20
</div>=20
<div>
No dams or bass.
</div>=20
<div>
Which streams did you have in mind?
</div>=20
<div>
Lets look at the evidence.

Enjoy the spring fishing

=EF=BB=BF An interesting question Dave.
</div>=20
<div>
If you compare Kings County to PEI which has  much the same =
drawbacks that you mention,
</div>=20
<div>
4 differences are immediately noticeable.
</div>=20
<div>
1 - no bass in PEI
</div>=20
<div>
2 - no large dams in PEI, a few low height affairs but not like Kings =
County.
</div>=20
<div>
3 - Fish Kills in PEI are prominent in the media. Not a news item in N=
S.
</div>=20
<div>
4 - The daily bag limit for trout in PEI is 16, in NS its 5. The trout=
 population in PEI seems healthy
</div>=20
<div>
with very little stocking.
</div>=20
<div>
I think # 2 is very suspect as the prime reason for the demise of trou=
t in Kings County.
</div>=20
<div>
Enjoy the spring

Hi Darrell & All,         =
0;              May 7, 20=

</div>=20
<div>
    Over the last 65 years just about all of the forme=
rly highly productive Trout streams in Kings County have become dead water.
</div>=20
<div>
 
</div>=20
<div>
    Streamflow instability, siltation from carele=
ss highway widening, erosion from extensive clearcuts or cultivated land,&#=
160;abnormal nutrient influx and acid rain are probable contributing f=
actors, depending upon the settiing and there may be other unsuspected caus=
es but in the complete absence of Bass, now or previously, they are exclude=
d.
</div>=20
<div>
 
</div>=20
<div>
    If this kind of disaster can happen in the absence=
of Bass it could be rushing to judgment to blame Bass where they=
 are present. They are tolerant of warm, sluggish water (low O2 I susp=
ect) so would be expected to survive where Trout do not.
</div>=20

    I don't know Lake Egmont but I notice there ar=
e roads along three sides and one of these is just along the eastern side. =
The topography suggests water fed in from swamp brooks as opposed to spring=
fed so I wonder how ir fares in dry periods.
