Saving steelhead from extinction | CBC Creator Network

After a decline in B.C.'s steelhead and salmon populations in the 1970s, the federal and provincial governments launched hatchery programs around B.C. to save these species from collapse. From January to April of each year, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. organizes a team of volunteers from the Fraser Valley to catch the wild steelhead trout needed to produce the next generation of hatchery fish. These skilled anglers put in countless hours chasing the "fish of a thousand casts" through the coldest months of the year to ensure tomorrow's anglers can experience the thrill of steelhead fishing on the Chilliwack River.

I did not realize brood stock anglers were allowed to fish above the legal fishing boundary. I suppose they should be allowed to, but you show a fish getting caught above the fishing boundary without explaining that. There are enough people poaching up there as it is.

Great story, thanks so much for sharing! I'm going to be moving back to the lower mainland in about two months time and I'm excited to get back into fishing on the chilliwack/vedder river, hopefully I'll see you out on the river there Braeden and Dean, any chance you guys know how I can get my hands on one of those brood capture bags?
