Watson Lake was surveyed as a part of the Burns Lake-Houston small lakes project in which a total of 10 lakes were examined: Sunset, Gilmore, Swans, Lars, Old Man, McBrierie, Elwin, Watson, Day, and Bulkley lakes. The primary focus of this work was on description of inlet and outlet streams as assessments of available rainbow trout spawning sites and to give recommendations for possible habitat enhancements at these small lakes.
