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=  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 </div>=20 <div> Paul </div>=20 <div>   </div>=20 <div> On May 7, 2015 at 11:39 AM David & Alison Webster <dwebster@gl= inx.com> wrote:=20 <br/> <br/> </div>=20 <blockquote style=3D"padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-= color: blue; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; position: re= lative;" type=3D"cite">=20 <div> Hi Darrell & All,         = 0;              May 7, 20= 15 </div>=20 <div>     Over the last 65 years just about all of the forme= rly highly productive Trout streams in Kings County have become dead water. </div>=20 <div>   </div>=20 <div>     Streamflow instability, siltation from carele= ss highway widening, erosion from extensive clearcuts or cultivated land,&#= 160;abnormal nutrient influx 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>=20 <div>   </div>=20 <div>     If this kind of disaster can happen in the absence= of Bass it could be rushing to judgment to blame Bass where they=  are present. They are tolerant of warm, sluggish water (low O2 I susp= ect) so would be expected to survive where Trout do not. </div>=20 <div>   </div>=20 <div>     I don'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. </div>=20 <div>   </div>=20 <div>     When we first had a cottage at Sunken Lake in 1971
