If cool weather holds until Saturday, swarms of opening day anglers are likely to
catch at least the tail end of the rainbow spawn, resource officials predict.
This year's dry, early spring has meant an early rainbow run, but the cool weather
may have interrupted the annual spawn, meaning there could be another good run
just in time for opening day.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see another big run of fish in the next couple of days,
once the water warms up," Mike Malhiot said Monday.
A fish biologist with the Wingham office of the Natural Resources Ministry, Malhiot
has been monitoring the rainbow run this year at the ministry's fish ladder in Port
Albert. If his prediction holds true, he said anglers can expect an average opening
day, since many spawners will be lingering in the rivers around the area.
Usually, Malhiot said, waters of 10 to 12 degrees celsius will get the fish moving.
Cool temperatures in the Nine Mile River at Port Albert last week meant as few as a
dozen fish went upstream some days, compared to over 100 when the water warms up.
For the first time in five years, resources officials have been tagging and examin-
ing every spawning rainbow using the fish ladder.
By Friday, almost 750 fish had 'climbed the ladder and headed toward Lucknow to
spawn,.
