Just something I’ve wondered. The creek running up to touchwood is called trout creek, and pinehurst at nearly 100ft deep has some great depth to the majority of the lake. I think I’ve found 110feet on the lake. You would think it was another historical trout fishery with Touchwood.
I can’t remember exactly where I read this (government or historical source) but they attempted to stock the lake with lakers back in the day. I don’t think it had a native population, but I could be wrong. All I know is that the only lakers there now are lake whitefish
My dad has a book from way back, Lakes of the Lac La Biche District. Touchwood was mentioned in it as having Lake Trout.
Its a neat read. All the named lakes, and un named sloughs and lakes are in there, with hand drawn bathymetric maps. Species and references are listed for each body of water.
I haven’t heard anything about pinehurst but I do know than touchwood had them a wile ago but they say that they were all netted out I’m not sure if There’s still any tho
Did Pinehurst ever have Lake Trout
