Pleasure Island Trout Pond By Lori Larsen
By Lori Larsen
Here are a few “fishy” facts that you may or may not have known. The largest fish in the world is the whale shark,
which despite their name are part of the fish family because they are cold-blooded and breathe through gills that extract oxygen from water. The smallest fish, however, is the Paedocypris, more commonly known as the dwarf minnow, which lives in the peat swamp forests of Southeast Asia.
On May 2, 1995 the bull trout was adopted as the official fish of Alberta and is one of eight species of trout found in the province. The bull trout gets its name from its large, wide head and pronounced upper jaw, similar to that of a bull.
If you are looking for a scenic place close to home to enjoy nature walks, wildlife observation and some great fishing, the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association Pleasure Island Trout Pond is the perfect stop. Located approximately six kilometres east of Camrose on Highway 13, and one kilometre south on Range Road 195, Camrose and District Fish and Game Pleasure Island Fish Pond is a one-stop day outing for outdoor enthusiasts. This incredible little recreation spot is brought to area residents and guests by the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association volunteer members who spend hours of their own time maintaining
and upgrading the area for everyone’s enjoyment. According to Camrose and District Fish and Game Association president Glen Hand, the area has and continues to undergo additions and improvements in order to provide something for all visitors. “Of course we have the very popular trout pond, consisting of 10 different fishing stations, all of which have either benches or picnic tables, which was just recently stocked with 1,400 rainbow, brook and brown trout.” Anglers can chose from 10 different fishing spots, all of which have either benches or picnic tables, or fish off one of four floating docks or a wheelchair accessible dock.
