Video of spawning trout on Canmore Creek's lower reach in 19

Check out this great video of some spawning results on Canmore Creek Enhancement of trout habitat spawning sites, just after project completion the same year.

Video of the Canmore Creek Project

The Enhancment Work

Check out the methodology of enhancing the trout habitat for cutthroat trout survival, on this particular stream. However, the first stocking of cutthroat trout was too small, and the second stocking of over twice as many, and the third stocking of approximately 5 times the original number, all came too late. The brook trout had already started to recover after our brook trout electo fish and trapping program had removed 10 times the number!

Great excitement surrounded the first use of trout spawning habitat created on the lower reach of the Canmore Creek!

This reach has open access to the Bow River, excluding beaver dams, which block spawning migrations. This is something that the local fisheries biologist and trout club could take on, but it never happened after I completed the project of enhancment.

More spawning on imported spawning gravel, which the BVHD team haul in and put in place!

The gravel is still quite light in color, due to it's recent placement in the stream channel. However, brook trout were spawning in it only weeks after the project was finished.
