Increasing the daily quota of the trout harvest in Kootenay Lake is good in theory.
That according to president of the West Arm Outdoors Club Gordon Grunerud.
The BC government has increased the quota of Rainbow and Bull Trout in an effort to help replenish the lake’s Kokanee population.
Grunerud says the lake is in a predator-pit right now.
He say’s adding more Kokanee stock and restricting Bull Trout’s migration could make a difference.
Grunerud added the club supports anything that brings balance back into the lake.
The daily Bull Trout quota increased from one to two, they are natural predators of the Kokanee.
