The lake was constructed sometime in the 60's. As far as stocking, that's kind of up for debate. It's never really been stored. It was drawn down pretty severely in 2001. Supplemental stocking has been done several times. The real root to our lmb recruitment is two fold. We already have a low population of lmb and we have a fairly shallow lake that receives a large amount of wind fetch. The wind silts in the lmb nests and slows recruitment. The wind fetch keeps sediments suspended and allows us to have an extremely high carrying capacity.
