  I am still wondering about the species of fish I saw splashing vigoroucly in shallow running water near the head of Big St. Margaret's Bay Lake, deep in the St. Margaret's Bay backlands, on Monday. I didn't get a good look at them due to light conditions and due to the skittishness of the fish. They were about a foot long, with uniformly coloured sides. They were splashing quite spectacularly in the shallows, with net movement upstream.

   What species were they? My first guess is gaspereaux (either species), but this lake shouldn't have gaspereaux as two high dams of the St. Croix River Hydro System and a diversion dam on the Ingram River block all fish passage from the ocean.  Are there any known landlocked gaspereaux populations in the province? What other fish species could have been spawning in the lake?
