Present production of waterfowl in the Carrot River Triangle is low, primarily due to inadequate water level management and lack of interspersion of land and water. Potential production from the area is high. Vast areas of grassland and sedge provide excellent nesting cover, invertebrates are abundant and the region's great fertility is reflected in the vigorous growth of vegetation (cattail 11 feet high - Lake 6; S. validus 9 feet high - Saskeram Lake). Objectives of management, therefore, are to develop water level control regimes (including drawdown) for each lake and to increase interspersion by establishing emergent vegetation and constructing level ditches of cookie cutter channels.
