this is very typical for the Coq. and typical to be able to see them. However more often than not it is very hard to get them to strike. plus it's closed all fishing from October 15 until July 1 above Othello. |

Quote There was one pool alone that you can see from the highway when driving by that the count in there was 46 fish this is very typical for the Coq. and typical to be able to see them. However more often than not it is very hard to get them to strike. Remember as well above the canyon it is fly fishing only. |

That's very good news, assuming it's accurate.

yes it's word of mouth one or 2 times removed from the people who did the count. Mostly these counts don't get published.

Where did you get this information Ralph? don't recall if this information is published but knowing people inside the ministry and some of the swimmers the information gets talked about. The estimates are wide ranging due to swim conditions that day. There was one pool alone that you can see from the highway when driving by that the count in there was 46 fish. Plus there is no count done of the fish still below the obstruction at Othello and this year there was a number of fish still below it in August when the count was done. Overall it was a very good return for the coquihalla. |

There has also been a few comparisons to the Coquihalla where the count this fall was 600 fish which must be something like the highest on record since before the first pipeline Then there was a super highway and another pipeline. The Coq had counts as low as just over a dozen back in the 90s to then bounce back to 500+within a few years. Some of these stocks display a remarkable resilience. another interesting fact is this return (actually estimated between 300 and 600 with the province adopting 420 from what I was told) is from a spawning escapement of only 83 fish. |
