Fraser River and Pitt Lake longfin smelt
« on: February 15, 2006, 12:38:43 PM »

I'm looking to track down possible sources of longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) from the Fraser River and/or Pitt Lake for use in a genetic study as part of my PhD in zoology at UBC. Any information on where I may be able to find a contact that comes across this species as by-catch or use for bait would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I personally don't know of anyone who frequently comes into contact with them but last year my buddy found one washed up on Harrison lake. Here's a pic but other than that I'm afraid I can't help.
