The Broad-scale Fisheries Monitoring program collects information from representative lakes in fisheries management zones across the province to help biologists manage our fisheries effectively. This bulletin provides a snapshot of recent monitoring activities and netting results. The sampling approach allows us to measure and evaluate the health of Ontario’s lakes and their fish communities, and track changes through time over broad areas of Ontario.
Come and join us on Saturday July 25th for this year’s Poker Run. All the proceeds from this event will go to the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation for the improvement of hospital services and is one way that we, KAPOA members, can contribute to the community.

At the meeting of Hastings Highlands Council on Wednesday June 3 the proposed Vegetative Buffer Bylaw was defeated. Without a special motion in Council the issue cannot be revisited for 12 months.

The bylaw affects the use of all waterfront properties in the township. KAPOA strongly recommends that as many as possible of its members attend.
The session will be held in the gymnasium of the Township Municipal offices at 9 am.
Originally this was to appear as the winter newsletter but we have all been busy so welcome to the
better-late-than-never Winter Newsletter Spring 2015 Edition!
The colours of the fall leaves around Kamaniskeg were the best in recent memory. Please send us any great photographs of the area in any season to share with others if your camera got lucky?
With the previous winter being so long and cold and the ice extra thick (ie 42″), such that some ice fishermen needed extensions to their ice augers, the summer seemed compressed. It was a race to get docks in with the late start and the pace sustained throughout the summer. Whether you figure your summer season was 4, 8, 12 or 16 weeks, it all seemed to pass so quickly. So much for the slow, leisurely pace of yesteryear.
KAPOA would like to thank all its Directors and Area Membership Reps for their time and energy to help make our properties safer and more enjoyable by working together.
