Are there Lakers in Dog? I have caught splake didnt think the MNR stocked splake in lakes with lake trout. I hope they dont because splake are year round and lakers have a very limited season and there is no definative way to tell them apart without opening them up.

It did have natural lakers but like many lakes became marginal. We used to catch some before they stocked it. You didn't catch many but sometimes it'd suprise you and if you did they were big. The last I heard a laker caught was at least 10 years ago or more. They stock it with splake now because they don't go as deep....close but just enough to stay out of the deepest basins where oxygen levels are critical. They tried rainbows once but they were a bust.
However with zebra mussels and clearer water and sunlight reaching deeper there could be more oxygen now in the deepest basins. Hopefully cleaner water. Maybe they'd come back. Still it gets very warm in summer and really blooms. Lots of cottage effluent and still some poor farming practices around the lake.
Would I say there are still lakers in the lake... NO. Would it suprise me if there were....NO
