1 Harkness Laboratory of Fisheries Research Lake Opeongo Creel Survey years and counting

2 Build it and they will come.. Highway 60 near Lake of Two Rivers 1950 s Opeongo road

3 Establishment of Harkness Lab Costello Lake Camp Log Lab Current Site

4 Establishment of Park Creel Surveys

5 Lake Opeongo

6 Creel Beginnings Census anglers harvest and effort Obtain biological samples from lake trout, smallmouth bass and brook trout No schedule initially, merely tried to interview all anglers Cleaned fish in return for information and samples

7 Current Sampling Stratified, randomized sampling schedule Differentiate between overnight and day tips Collect biological information from LT and SMB Length, weight, sex, maturity Gonad condition and weight Calcified aging structures Ancillary sampling depending on project Component of mark/recapture

8 Thousands of Campers Day Trip/Overnight CUE Evolution of the Opeongo Creel Type of angling/angler 50 s saw an increase in overnight camping Decrease in guided trips (CUE X higher with guides) Algonquin Park Interior Campers Year Daytrip/Overnight CUE Year

9 Evolving Fishery Changes in technology 1930 s use of William s Wabler 1940 s switch from canoe to motorboats 1960 s use of depth sounders/fish finders 1980 s downriggers 2000 s - GPS units, bathymetric charts Is one hour of effort in 1930 equivalent to one hour of effort in 2012?

10 Lake Trout Targetted Effort (angler hours) Establishment of Smallmouth Bass Establishment of Lake Herring Total Harvest of Lake Trout Lake Opeongo Lake Trout Harvest and Effort ( ) Year

11 Number of Adult Lake Trout (8-20 years) Harvest per Unit Effort 7000 Lake Opeongo Adult Lake Trout Population (8-20 years of Age) Year Reproduced from Vascotto, 2006

12 1948 Lake Herring Effect

13 Lake Trout Targetted Effort (angler hours) Establishment of Smallmouth Bass Establishment of Lake Herring Total Harvest of Lake Trout Lake Opeongo Lake Trout Harvest and Effort ( ) Year

14 Recent Trends

15 Possible Explanation Warmer climate = increased SMB survival Increased SMB predation on LH in the fall Observation of decrease in lake herring size and abundance Reduced particle size for lake trout = reduced growth

16 Harkness Role of the Opeongo Creel Baseline data to support other Harkness research programs, recruit outside researchers Outreach to anglers Training platform for students, future fisheries professionals Algonquin Park Integral component of fisheries monitoring, Interior vs. Corridor effort, Sustainability of lake trout fisheries Sampling for invasive / non-native species

17 Role of Opeongo Creel - Provincially One of few long term data sources for lake trout Useful and been used for examining: Effects of climate change on food web dynamics Evolutionary pressures of harvesting Effects of harvesting on size structure Effects of species introductions on lake trout food webs

18 Lake Trout Targetted Effort (angler hours) Establishment of Smallmouth Bass First Rock Bass Observation Establishment of Lake Herring Total Harvest of Lake Trout Lake Opeongo Lake Trout Harvest and Effort ( ) Year 0
