Angling on two lakes in the Nicola River watershed will be closed as of Saturday in an effort to prevent the spread of yellow perch.
Biologists believe the fish, which are not native to the lake, were deliberately released by someone who wanted to create a local perch sports-fishery.
The fish are very adaptive, have few native predators and reproduce quickly. Once perch are introduced into a lake, they out-compete native species for food and habitat.
Windy Lake is 32 kilometres west of Kelowna at the headwaters of the Nicola River drainage. Little Windy Lake is immediately upstream of Windy Lake. The closure will be in effect until further notice.
Provincial biologists are investigating the lakes and outlet streams to determine the extent of the yellow perch population and are working to remove the fish from the Nicola and Thompson watersheds.
The Province closed 11 lakes in the Thompson region between 2006 and 2012 due to environmental threats posed by illegally introduced invasive fish species.
