Kokanee stocks have dropped the past few years to a point where action needed to be taken.
Holger Bohm is the Section Head for Fishing and Wildlife with the Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resources Operations.
He is speaking to the province’s five-year action plan to replenish the dwindling Kokanee population in Kootenay Lake.
18,000 Kokanee were counted in the main body of Kootenay Lake and it’s tributaries, the lowest total since annual counts began in 1979.
