As Frank lake is full of Prussian carp, TVR is downstream and would have a virtually limitless supply floating in that direction. Not a good forage fish, but undoubtedly there in huge potential numbers. There used to be trout in mosquito creek and the Little Bow close to High river back in the 60's, likely long gone by now. And as Prussian carp are in Frank...they will go upstream in the little Bow and downstream to TVR and everywhere in that drainage as well. Likely they will get into Clear lake too. While this is bad news for most fish, the lucky few pike will get plenty to eat. And apparently one injured Pelican survived over winter this year by eating Prussian carp in the warm sewage/slaughterhouse outflow from High river into Frank lake. here's hoping the perch and whites can compete.
