Head Lake, Kashagawigamog Lake

Lake characteristics and walleye fishery status

The purpose of this paper is to give a general analysis of Head Lake and adjoining Kashagawigamog Lake in terms of the overall lake characteristics and walleye fishery status. Given the recent undertaking of spawning bed creation and enhancement, recommendations were developed in an attempt to start a reliable database that may be implemented in the future to assess the viability of the enhancement work. It is important to note that the given recommendations are strongly empirical as recent lake inventory information was not available, and what information was present was somewhat outdated. The implementation of the recommendations however, will provide a suitable structure for future management goals and analysis of the present day fish stock.
