Rainbow Trout and Steelhead Anglers Needed!
Researchers from Carleton University are looking for BC recreational anglers to complete an online survey investigating perceived threats to rainbow trout and steelhead fisheries in this province. The survey is part of a much larger University of British Columbia-led interdisciplinary project, "Sustaining Freshwater Recreational Fisheries in a Changing Environment," funded by Genome Canada and Genome BC. Questions or concerns about the survey can be sent to Amanda Jeanson at amandajeanson@cmail.carleton.ca.
Spring Release Programs Underway Across the Province
The weather is warming up, and ice-off is happening on lakes around the province. The Vancouver Island and Fraser Valley trout hatcheries have their spring release programs well underway. Our Summerland, Kootenay, and Clearwater hatcheries will be starting their releases soon. Click here to learn when your favourite lake is being stocked, and find other stocking reports.
