Walleye Spawning Beds Rejuvenation
Help re-build the spawning beds for this important fish species.
Delivered in partnership with
Walleye Spawning Beds Rejuvenation
​
When: September 2026
Where: Near the narrows at Hwy 62
​
Following from recommendations in our walleye population report that found a 76% drop in walleye catch from 2010 to 2022, a preliminary assessment o f walleye spawning beds was completed in August 2025. As a result, in October 2025, Moira Lake was selected by Watersheds Canada to participate in a Spawning Bed Rejuvenation Project. Planning work will begin in spring 2026 with project delivery in early fall.
​
Working with Watersheds Canada, we will clean existing beds of silt and algae, then add clean, appropriately sized river rock to known spawning areas to create or restore gravel-cobble beds.
​
This project is jointly funded by Watersheds Canada, the Municipality of Centre Hastings, Yamaha Financial Services, and the MLPOA.
