slaughter. Why Little Sec and not Log Canoe? And how did all those people know, and Tom the mailman did not? Later that spring, Tom


BROOK TROUT


the larger fish had simply matured in this small lake. I learned later that several such lakes around Sec, including Log Canoe, were being stocked annually by the Province, with up to a thousand yearlings into each lake. For some reason, on that cold opening day, the entire population of trout in Little Sec went on a feeding frenzy, the result of which was pretty much a


introduced me to Norm’s Lake, another gem in Sec’s satellites. It too was stocked regularly yet I had it to myself for several years. Who talks loosely of such places? The last two brookies I saw in Norm’s were caught by my eight-year old daughter Sue and her friend Leah. That was in 1975. I continued to fish Norm’s for a couple of years after that, without success, not realising stocking had ceased by 1976. I was surprised to learn brook


trout, usually stream breeders, will reproduce readily in the right lakes. They need clean gravelly bottoms, but the key is the presence of underwater springs, where cool, oxygenated water can wash over their eggs. There are hundreds of such lakes in Algonquin Park.


The natural history of the Park


is quite remarkable. Only a few thousand years ago, the earth’s crust sagged under the weight of ice sheets a kilometer or more thick. When the ice retreated, the scoured land slowly rebounded, leaving hundreds of lakes in the Algonquin Highlands. Trout wandered into them when they were connected to each other. Later generations became stranded as the land rose and the connections disappeared. As knowledge of Algonquin’s lakes and their inhabitants improved, fisheries managers realized they had a magnificent resource on their hands: perhaps 240 naturally evolved and isolated populations of brook trout, as rich as any region within the species’ natural range. This natural bounty of genetic
