SAMPLE OF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION:

Trout Lake (Map 28/A2–E5)
There are probably about a dozen Trout Lakes scattered about the province. This one is one of the biggest, at 2,874 hectares (7,100 ac) and likely produces the biggest fish with the mighty Gerrard rainbow occasionally tipping the scales in the 9 kg (20 lb) range. It also has a healthy population of bull trout, which can get up to 4 kg (9 lbs). Both species are best caught on a deep troll using a plug or Flatfish in April to May or again in September to October. The lake is also home to smaller populations of burbot, kokanee and whitefish. The best access points are at either the north end from town or the south end of the lake. Portions of the lake are closed for spawning purposes so check the regulations before heading out.
