I walked toward the lake the other day and saw people fishing on the dock — I asked them what they were catching, and “catfish” was the reply. I reached into their bucket and found a pretty centrarchid (sunfish, not sure of species if pumpkinseed or crappie or ?) and assumed the rest of the fish were the same. I doubt there are any siliurids (catfish).

You know, an ex co-worker of mine told me that Trout Lake was man-made. I didn’t believe it. But I wonder, you said that it was a peat bog, which is quite different than a lake. Is it partly man-made?

There has always been trout in Trout lake, even before the sawmill was there.

**The mill had to post a man full-time at the lake to stop the beavers there from building dams that blocked the flow. Another of his chores was to remove the lakeâ€™s trout from the flume, which at times was almost choked with fish.**

There is trout in trout lake! I’ve caught trout in trout lake before and also caught carp, bullhead, sunfish, and black crappies! back in 2002 my dad and I caught from early April to early July, we caught 64 rainbow trout together. Also back in 2004 my dad caught an 18 inch trout from that lake, it might have been rainbow or maybe even been a cutthroat trout. I still fish there in 09 and I can see them jumping in the early mornings and late evenings to catch the insects on the lake. So there is definitely trout in trout lake!

Sorry to inform you,( but happily) but i have lived across the street from trout lake for 8 years, and there are rainbow trout and cutthroat trout stocked. You can see people fishing off the docks, most days, and wonder at their catch of the day!

I took a gazillion photos of Trout Lake today and the Farmers Market thinking “oh yay, I’m going to use these to write a guest post for Rebecca’s Park Series”. Turns out you already covered Trout Lake!

My favourite park in the City, for personal reflective reasonings is Trimble Park, above what used to be the School for the Blind (now West Point Grey Academy).

Once you walk across the park, onto the hill overlooking 4th Avenue and ultimately the ocean, I’m always humbled by its beauty…
