History & Status of the Fishery
Pancore Lake is a designated stream trout lake, currently managed for Splake. This targeted survey was done to measure late-summer temperature-oxygen conditions to determine whether they might be limiting to Splake, which are believed to have habitat requirements similar to those for Brook Trout. Optimal conditions for Brook Trout are water temperatures of 68 F or less, with at least 5.0 ppm dissolved oxygen. Water temperatures over 68 F are stressful, and prolonged exposure to those higher temperatures can result in slower growth, particularly among larger fish. Exposure to water temperatures over 77 F can be lethal.
Measurements in Pancore Lake on August 23 2016 indicated optimal conditions for Splake were present, but were limited to a narrow band of depths (about 19-20 feet). Waters at shallower depths would have been stressfully warm, while deeper waters lacked sufficient dissolved oxygen. While not lethal, warm waters observed in 2016 could have resulted in stress responses, including slower growth, among Splake in this lake. Effects of warm surface waters may have been reduced by the apparent persistence through the summer of at least some waters offering a cool-water refuge.
