Horse Lake supports a recreational fishery for Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush). To estimate their natural and fishing mortality, individuals were caught by angling and tagged with acoustic transmitters and/or external reward tags. Acoustically tagged fish were detected by a series of seven receivers distributed through the lake as well as annual or biannual mobile detection surveys. The mobile detection survey was conducted by deploying receivers for approximately 10 minutes at 90 locations arranged on a 400 m x 400 m grid. The external reward tags included a phone number for anglers to report their recaptures. In 2009 and 2021, a summer profundal index netting (SPIN) survey was done on the lake.

The Mica Tailrace Fish Indexing Study is a multi-year program to estimate the effects of the addition of two new turbines (Mica 5 and 6) on the ichyofauna and thermal regime in the 2.5 km of the Columbia River downstream of Mica Dam. A single year of fish indexing data (2008) was also available from a previous program. As per the Terms of Reference (TOR) the relative abundance, condition and spatial distribution of the fish populations was assessed.

In 2019, eight Rainbow Trout with acoustic transmitters and external reward tags were transplanted from Greenlee Lake.
