This particular stream on our property is valuable because it only rarely freezes over and if it freezes over the ice never gets very thick. The reason is that the source of the water is all groundwater which comes out at the base of the mountains, collects and gradually forms little defined streams working their way towards the Bella Coola River. Groundwater temperatures stay more stable and thus provide valuable habitat, that is laden with good hiding spots, clean water and food. All good things for a coho salmon fry that will grow to or 5-10 cm long before it leaves the creek and will come back in two years at 8-12 lbs. A good return on investment. Grizzly
It's going to be a flowery summer
