The warning signs are off and many people were fishing today.   No news on the why the fish kill occurred in the first place, yet.

I heard they think it was a bacterial infection within the abundant population of catfish.

Many of ya agree with the idea that they should install a water fountain at Como Lake so to airate & oxygenize the water thus to improve the health & livelyness of the trout....
Was driving the wife to a retirement party for a wker. who retired after 30yrs...& on route went along Granville eastbound ...then past #3 Rd ...then it makes a natural turn to the left but it is now called Garden City & nearby are alot of new buildings. There is also a new park there with a small lake or big pond but noticed there are water fountains.

Also when riding the bike on the west dykes (Richmond) there is a townhome complex with a nice pond...with ya guessed it a water fountain.
Another pond along the dyke near Garry Pk with anothwer water fountain.

Maybe some phone calls can go out or a letter to the editor to Coquitlam's freebee newspaper...etc...could get the ball-rolling to get a water fountain at Como Lk.  Has to help "BIG TIME." :)

Was at Como Lake this evening from around 5:00pm - 8:00pm and the signs posted all over the park indicated that Environment Canada had tested the water and all was back to relative normality - though throughout the duration of my three hours there I did happen to notice several small catfish surfacing and struggling for air.  And two or three more already dead.  The fishing was fair to good.  Managed to get 2 on a small rooster tail spinner.

I will be heading out tomorrow. What lake is a better choice right now, Como or Lafarge?

Thanks

I haven't been to Lafarge yet, so I couldn't tell you from personal experience.  That being said, I've heard they produce about the same amount but that Lafarge is often more busy.  Either way, you're bound to catch something.

Assume anyone can fish Como now as long as ya have a lic.

Yrs ago the only ones who could fish it were kids teens & seniors.  Adults excluded. (99% correct on that) ::) ??? :o
