Twenty different species of fish live in the lakes on the Colville National Forest. Many of them are the result of natural reproduction within these aquatic ecosystems. Others come to their lake homes each year a little less naturally: from fish hatcheries. Regardless of how they arrived, these fish are wonderful and valuable natural resources. Fish are a vital part of the lake ecosystems where they play a key role in the food chain as both predators and as prey.
