Bass Lake Creek
Manitoulin Streams worked with the Little Current Fish and Game Club to improve salmon and trout habitat at the upper reach of Bass Lake Creek. A hydraulic hammer was used to expand a pool and 9 yards of spawning gravel was placed inside to create a spawning pool. Sweeper logs that were washed downstream with high water flows were also replaced with boulders. Passage upstream was created with spawning channels as well.
The landowner from Bass Lake Creek attended meetings so that construction equipment could access through his property. 1 hrs x 1 person x $25 = $25
• 10 large boulders placed into the river creating 2 wing deflectors
• Hydraulic hammer – pool creation 8m x 3 m x 1.5m depth
• 9 yards of spawning gravel placed into the pool and along the upper reach (35ft (11 m) x 80 ft (24m) = 2800ft2 (264mm2)
