   =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.

 are free of dams.

     =EF=BB=BF An interesting question Dave.
    </div>=20
    <div>
     If you compare Kings County&#160;to PEI which has&#160; 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=
&#160;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

      &#160;&#160;&#160; Over the last 65 years just about all of the forme=
rly highly productive Trout streams in Kings County have become dead water.

      &#160;&#160;&#160; Streamflow&#160;instability, siltation from carele=
ss highway widening, erosion from extensive clearcuts or cultivated land,&#=
160;abnormal nutrient influx&#160;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>
      &#160;&#160;&#160; If this kind of disaster can happen in the absence=
 of Bass it&#160;could be&#160;rushing to judgment to blame Bass where they=
&#160;are present. They are tolerant of warm, sluggish water (low O2 I susp=
ect) so would be expected to survive where Trout do not.

      &#160;&#160;&#160; I don&#39;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.
