  1. The truth about fishing trips is that they're more about where you go and how you get there than about what you catch; not really about the fishing at all, in other words, although without it you wouldn't have gone in the first place. You naturally plan your trip for when you think the fishing will be best...

  2. ... and try to make the most painless travel arrangements - aiming at what you hope will be a satisfying narrative arc that begins and ends in you own driveway - but the earmark of every fishing trip is still uncertainty. If it weren't why even go?

    Plenty of trout holding in front of this tree 😮
    Freshly stocked, including a golden rainbow, not very interested in my flies, but I managed to catch what I needed for dinner 🙂

    Got a bit too much foam on my beer 🙄
    It’s been a busy week 😅
    Not exactly the kind of “foam is home” situation I like out on the creek while fly fishing 🤔

  6. #Fish & #Wildlife: The #KoksilahRiver supports regionally significant #aquatic #ecosystems and fish species, including #chinook, #coho and #chum #salmon as well as #steelhead and resident #trout. These fish populations are both culturally and economically significant to local First Nations. It is essential to the survival of many species of #birds, #mammals, #reptiles, and #amphibians.

    #Farms & #Vineyards: Approximately 15% of the lower watershed supports a significant #agricultural community including many large dairy farms as well as smaller mixed and organic farms. The pastoral landscape is a also a favorite wine-touring route and is a thriving and expanding #RuralTourism business.

    Forest: Approximately 73% of the #KoksilahWatershed is Privately Managed #Forest Lands and another 6% is Crown #Forestry Lands.

    #Recreation Opportunities: The Koksilah Watershed is home to several parks including the #KoksilahRiverProvincialPark. It is enjoyed by many in the valley as a refreshing place to swim on hot summer days because the water temperature is always cooler than the #Cowichan River. It is also used extensively by white water paddlers, particularly in the winter months.

  8. So, ignoring the elephant in the room (that #PFAS is EVERYWHERE), apparently, the state of #Maine has been restocking fish in ponds and lakes that have known PFAS contamination...

    Maine stocks PFAS-laden waters with fish, warns ‘do not eat’

    Scientists worry that some anglers will still consume the #trout tainted by #ForeverChemicals. One environmental watchdog group calls the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife practice 'super disturbing.'

    by Penelope Overton, June 2, 2024

    "Chock-full of forever chemicals, the #FishingHoles next to Fairfield’s youth athletic complex on Industrial Drive are believed to be some of the most #polluted waters in #Maine – yet the state still stocks these ponds every year with hatchery-raised #BrookTrout for local children to catch.

    "The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife [#MaineDIFW] said it puts brook trout in the ponds for kids to catch for fun, not for sustenance, and that it warns against eating anything caught from these waters. A fish doesn’t have to be eaten to be enjoyed, said state fisheries director Francis Brautigam."

    Relevant quotes:

    Sarah Woodbury, Defend Our Health: “This is super disturbing to me that they are intentionally stocking areas they know are contaminated. Folks that depend on fish to feed their families shouldn’t have to be worried about additional contamination.”

    Michelle Flewelling, #FairfieldMaine Town Manager: "“Forever chemicals have done a number on this town. We’ve got the highest numbers in the state, maybe the country. We all know it. It’s no secret. It’s in our drinking water, our ponds, our fields. It’s white noise at this point. We’ve lost so much. Why let it take one more thing from these kids?”

  9. We investigated the effect of a fishway on the genetic structure of brown trout populations, finding that the fishway *increased* genetic structuring, we think because it enabled fish to move to their preferred spawning sites.

  10. The #McCloud River #redband #trout, or O. mykiss calisulat, is newly identified as its own distinct #subspecies of #rainbow trout in a study from the University of California, Davis. It is the first newly identified subspecies of Pacific trout since 2008 and the youngest rainbow trout subspecies by more than 100 years.
