FOOTSTEPS
FROM YOUR CABIN
The
Fraser, one of the
worlds largest rivers, is
a first class angler's destination with some
of the largest salmon runs anywhere! More
than 60 other kinds of fish are found in the waters of the Fraser
River. Learning
the Fraser's many channels and the holding lies for the various species is a
great challenge, just by it's murky water and huge size. The river changes
every season and is beyond the ability of the average weekend angler. For
the less experienced Small River that also runs through the property usually
provides an easier catch.
SALMON
Each
year millions of salmon return to the Fraser on route to their spawning grounds.
Sockeye, Chinook, Coho, Chum and Pink (odd years) salmon all pass by in Huge
numbers. Some salmon, which migrate upriver to spawn
in northern tributaries, swim as far as 1000 miles from the ocean to gravel beds
in the Upper Fraser and it's
tributaries like Small River just footsteps from your door. SALMON
ARE PROTECTED AT THIS TIME!
BROOK TROUT
Brook trout
are native to Eastern Canada, where coastal dwellers migrate between inland and
marine waters. Prized for fishing, they have been stocked throughout the
continent, with most success in the upland regions. They eat mostly
caddisfly larvae, midges and water invertebrates, living about five years to an
average size of
RAINBOW TROUT
Native
throughout the Rockies on the Eastern slope and from Valemount north on the
western slope. Average size 30 cm, 1.5 kg, record weight 23.9 kg from a
Lake in Alberta, and length 91 cm from a lake near Jasper. A giant 1.3 m
long and weighing 46.3 kg was caught just outside Alberta in 1961. In the
summer they seek cold water, staying deep and feeding on small organisms.
In the winter they move closer to the surface eat mainly other fish.
DOLLY VARDEN
A member of
the Salmon/Trout family and mistakenly referred to as Bull Trout, Dollies are
protected in our rivers. The average length of the fresh water form is
12-18 inches long. The color is variable with size, locality and habitat,
those living in fresh water are a olive-green to brown with orange spots.
A serious predator on young salmon and salmon eggs. PROTECTED ONLY IN THE
RIVERS!
ROCKY MOUNTAIN WHITE FISH
The
mountain whitefish maintains an average length of 8-12 inches and the world
record weight is 4 pounds 7 ounces. The overall coloration is silvery with
light or dark brown or olive on the back. The maximum age of this bottom
feeder is 17-18 years. Mountain whitefish feed primarily on
bottom-dwelling aquatic insects, but will also feed on terrestrial insects on
the surface. They have also been known to feed on other smaller fish and on fish
eggs.
