Water Temperatures


You may notice red, rectangular devices when boating on area lakes this Spring.

The Province is conducting a study on how changes in water temperature impact
walleye, lake trout and other fish.

Mark Sobchuck is a spokesperson for the MNR and says they have the monitors
in 22 lakes across northwestern Ontario this year.

The red devices report the lake temperatures ever hour.

They will be collected before the water freezes this Fall.
