Back to British Columbia Fishing Guides

Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri)

The Rainbow Trout is found all over British Columbia and is one of the most sought after game fish known in Canada.

The trout is praised for its beautiful colors and fighting ability by area fisherman. When the trout is caught on a fishing line and a hook catches the trout twists, turns, jumps and leaps out of the water. It is a show worth catching.

The Rainbow trout prefers cold streams and swift currents, but still adapts to lake environments. In the spring, the trout head up stream to spawn. The female trout lays her eggs and then a male will fertilize them. The eggs hatch in about three months and the fish fry (baby trout) leave the gravel nest three weeks after they are born.
Because it can only survive in streams and lakes with high oxygen content, this fish is very venerable to human pollutants.

White Tailed Dear (Odocoileus virginianus)

Found throughout British Columbia, Canada the White Tailed Deer is growing in numbers. The deer has also become more humanized making its way into community backyards with no fear.

The white tailed deer showing no fear will, as soon as humans approach, bolt into the trees. The deer enjoys the wide open spaces, until we show up.

The White Tail Deer munches on grass and shrubs as its main food source and can be found scavenging for its food source in moist wetlands, swamps and cleared wide open fields. The best times for viewing a white tailed deer is a few hours after sunrise and before sunset.

The antlers of the male deer usually start to show signs in early April and, usually, have a full set by August. The velvet cover is rubbed off the antlers by the male deer by September proudly exposing the hard core antlers they use to impress the females in November. The antlers drop off in the winter.

Woodchuck (Marmota monax)

The woodchuck is a funny little creature always seeming to be curious standing tall on its hind legs. It is found in most areas of British Columbia often usually spotted at the entrance of his burrow investigating the surrounding sightlines.

The woodchuck grows a layer of fat in the autumn and as soon as the chills of the winter climates set in, it heads off to the hibernation den that it has already scouted out and prepared. These hibernation dens are usually located under an old tree root or woodlots.

Once nestled in, the woodchuck falls into a deep sleep and its body temperature and breathing drop dramatically until it resurfaces in March. It lives off its stored fat until vegetation becomes available.
