Call Lake is a small, barren lake situated approximately six kilometers east of Smithers, B.C. It is a shallow lake with no inlet or outlet streams. Call Lake was stocked in the spring of 1983 and 1984 with brook trout (2000 and 3000 respectively) to provide a winter fishery in the Smithers area. The lake was opened to the public
December 1, 1984. A creel census was conducted by the Fisheries Branch December 1984 through March 1985 to try and evaluate the success of this stocking program.

December 1, 1984. A creel census was conducted by the Fisheries Branch December 1984 through March 1985 to try and evaluate the success of this stocking program. One month seemed to be the length of time required for the public to take the harvestable fish. The fish were in spawning
condition but the anglers were still pleased with them. The anglers all gave positive feed back towards this fishery so it seems to have been a success. It is recommended that stocking be maintained at 3000 fry at 400kg which is a slightly
higher stocking level than the stocking calculations show (2000 at 400kg), and to sample the lake in the summer of 1985 to determine the condition of the 1984 stocking.
