The outlet and inlet streams to Kager Lake (00211FRAN) were inventoried on May 18, 1978 with the following objectives: to locate and describe the important spawning areas utilized by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri); to obtain additional data to augment the information gathered by Shepard and Algard in August, 1977; and to assess any existent problems and provide recommendations for the management of the Kager Lake fisheries resource.

The outlet and inlet streams to Kager Lake (00211FRAN) were inventoried on May 18, 1978 with the following objectives: to locate and describe the important spawning areas utilized by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri); to obtain additional data to augment the information gathered by Shepard and Algard in August, 1977; and to assess any existent problems and provide recommendations for the management of the Kager Lake fisheries resource.
There is some confusion regarding the naming and location of Kager Lake. According to the N.T.S. topographic map 93K 4E and the forest cover map 93-K-4-g, the lake located on the north-west section of lot 4171 and part of lot 4174 is denoted as Kager Lake. However, the directory sign on the access road and the fishing regulations pertain to the lake located mainly in the north-east section of lot 4171. This report deals with the latter described lake.
The inventory indicates that: the beaver dam at the outlet prevents passage of fish and severely
restricts stream flow; reach 1 contains some fair to good spawning habitat; local information indicates that reach 1 has been historically utilized by spawning rainbow trout; and reach 2 has some rearing habitat but is unimportant for spawning.
In the Kager Lake inlet, the 42 meter section of reach 1 was utilized by a few rainbow trout but was classed as only fair spawning habitat due to the small amount of suitable gravel and high degree of substrate siltation. The remainder of reach 1, although it has a low gradient, is not presently suitable for spawning because of the abundant willow growth throughout the channel which has collected debris causing many small jams and resulting in heavy siltation. Reach 2 is unsuitable for spawning rainbow trout because of steep gradient and lack of suitable gravel.
