After the positive response to initial trial stockings of Lake Kara with adult rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon during 2013 IFS committed to replacing the screens at the spillway to prevent fish from migrating downstream when the lake is overflowing.

The installation of new galvanised steel screens was completed on 13 February 2014. This will be a considerable boost to the future management of Lake Kara as a family fishery for the North West coast. Further stocking will be undertaken as fish become available.
