what restoration plans do they have for this wonderful river?

[Sea-Run Fly & Tackle]

Quote from Fly BC Vice Pres Ralf Kroning:   The project is habitat based rehabilitation including bank stabilisation, fencing, removal of channel barriers etc. It will provide mainstem habitat in the Coldwater River which includes installing/creating bioengineered bank structures placement of LWD, etc etc all for the enhancement of salmonid, in particular coho, chinook and steelhead productivity. SSBC has partnered up with DFO and BC Conservation Foundation and through BCCF has a funding request with Pacific Salmon Foundation for this particular project in addition to the $42,000 SSBC is committed to raising of the $84,900 total project cost.

We will have a more detailed project description at the fundraiser. Once I receive it in some electronic format, I'll make it public before that.

Scott we would love to see a study regarding rainbows (residualised steelhead) and steelhead in these tribs. If we raise enough money, say another $100k, we will be able to move on such a study. In the meantime, you can make donations to this project specifically, or the Thompson or in general to SSBC via our website: http://www.steelheadsociety.org/donate

[Trophy Tackle]

We'll be providing some spoon and spinner packs complete with the bibles of spoon and spinner fishing; "Spoon Fishing for Steelhead" by Bill Herzog and "Spinner Fishing for Steelhead, Salmon and Trout" by Jed Davis.

Great event, great people and they'll definitely be some wicked prizes and auction items.

thanks for the reply sea run.  is there a web site that has this information on it?  i am wondering what reaches and or areas they plan on targeting with this project?

[ralfish]

A correction is in order: Mr. Kroning is VP of SSBC (Steelhead Society of BC) and not FlyBC.

Once there is an electronic file of the project description it will be released here and elsewhere ( in the next couple of days). But for now the following will have to do: "DFO has identified all barriers and fencing issues. A DFO restoration biologist and engineer have created a site specific (Coldwater Eaton-Beaton Channel Enhancement Project) restoration and enhancement prescription which includes solutions for setback fencing, riparian planting, barrier removal and bioengineered bank stabilization."
