SUDOKU<br />
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,<br />
broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve<br />
a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill<br />
each row, column and box. Each number<br />
can appear only once in each row, column<br />
and box. You can fi gure out the order in<br />
which the numbers will appear by using the<br />
numeric clues already provided in the boxes.<br />
The more numbers you name, the easier it<br />
gets to solve the puzzle!<br />

Local mountain lakes<br />
get new fish<br />
Each year, in consultation with provincial fisheries managers,<br />
the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocks more than<br />
800 lakes and rivers throughout BC. And while the Freshwater<br />
Fisheries Society has only been stocking BC’s waterbodies since<br />
2003, their records include data for all historical releases.<br />
Their six hatcheries raise and release rainbow trout, cutthroat<br />
trout, eastern brook char, kokanee, and steelhead for recreational<br />
fisheries and white sturgeon and lake char for conservation<br />
purposes.<br />
While all fish share traits common to the species, there are<br />
often significant differences between regional populations or<br />
strains. These unique traits are the result of the individual populations<br />
adapting to the specific conditions associated with their<br />
local habitat, community and available resources.<br />
Lakes in the local area that were stocked this October include:<br />
• Greyhorse Lake #1, Meadow Creek. Stocked with 1,000<br />
Pennask Lake rainbow trout<br />
• Milford Lake, Shutty Bench. Stocked with 1,000 Pennask<br />
rainbow trout<br />
• Barrett Lake, near <strong>Nelson</strong>. Stocked with 2,000 Pennask<br />
Lake rainbow trout<br />
Pennask Lake lies within the Upper Spahomin watershed,<br />
approximately 50 km east of Merritt on the Thompson Plateau.<br />
Although the lake has low productivity, it has always maintained<br />
a large monoculture (single-species) population of small<br />
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A permanent egg-collection<br />
station has operated on Pennask Creek, the major inlet<br />
stream, since 1927.<br />
Within any lake, the Pennask strain is pelagic, preferring deep<br />
open water. Another key trait of Pennask Lake rainbow is their<br />
exceptional ability to conserve body fat. This allows them to<br />
survive long winters, and makes them ideal for stocking cold,<br />
high-elevation lakes.<br />
Pennask Lake rainbow trout in are generally small at maturity.<br />
However, when stocked into productive monoculture lakes,<br />
they grow well and reach a much larger size before maturity.<br />
Typical for Interior trout, these fish are lightly spotted on the<br />
body, mostly along the back and tail.<br />
Most active at dusk, Pennask rainbow are mid-water foragers<br />
that feed primarily on benthic (bottom) organisms like chironomid<br />
pupae or cladocerans (water fleas). The trout are not highly<br />
piscivorous (fish-eating), and show no evidence of preying on<br />
non-salmonid fish until they are at least two years old. Pennask<br />
rainbow trout have a reputation for being very aggressive, and<br />
are world-renowned for their fighting ability and tendency to<br />
jump when hooked. And, because this strain focusses on invertebrate<br />
prey, experienced fly-fishers often prefer the Pennask<br />
rainbows to other strains of stocked rainbows.<br />
