British Columbia’s Thompson River, among the most storied steelhead rivers in the world for its huge, hard fighting fall steelhead once supported thousands of spawning steelhead annually. As recently as the 70s numbers were over 10 thousand.
This year the return is expected to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 fish.
Please sign the petition demanding the Canadian Government take action to protect the last remaining Thompson River wild steelhead.
It broke my heart reading this … The Thompson used to be a ‘fish factory’ for every one in the Pacific Northwest.
