These have included six years of spawner enumeration at a tributary, tracking of post-spawning movement, surveys of juvenile abundance and habitat use, and estimates of angler harvest. This study was designed to provide a population estimate of adult burbot in the lake to complement the earlier studies. In addition, information was obtained on the size distribution of lake-captured fish, and the depth and habitats used. The study took advantage of the fact that 995 burbot had been tagged as part of spawner enumeration early in 2001; these fish were used as the first phase of a mark-recapture population estimate. Sixteen cod traps were deployed at locations across Columbia Lake and the upper Columbia River from May 30 to June 7, and October 2 to October 11, 2001. The sites for the location of cod traps were chosen based on previous radiotelemetry surveys and suspected concentrations of prey in the autumn.

  • Columbia Lake Quick Fact Sheet
    COLUMBIA LAKE QUICK REFERENCE SHEET JUST A FEW AMAZING THINGS ABOUT OUR AMAZING LAKE! . Maximum length – 13.5 km (8.4 mi) . Maximum width – 2 km (1.2 mi) . Typical depth – 15 ft . Average July water temperature – 18 C – making it the largest warm water lake in East Kootenay . Surface Elevation – 808m (2,650 ft) .Area – 6,815 acres (2,758 hectares) . Freezing – last year, it was observed the lake froze on December 7, 2016 and thawed on March 29, 2017. Columbia Lake is fed by several small tributaries. East side tributaries include Warspite and Lansdown Creeks. West Side tributiaries include Dutch, Hardie, Marion and Sun Creeks. Columbia Lake also gets a considerable amount of water at the south end where water from the Kootenay river enters the lake as groundwater. The water balance of Columbia Lake is still not fully understood. The Columbia Lake Stewardship Society continues to do research in this area. Columbia Lake got its name from the Columbia River. The river was so named by American sea captain Robert Gray who navigated his privately owned ship The Columbia Rediviva through its waters in May 1792 trading fur pelts. Columbia Lake is the source of the mighty Columbia River, the largest river in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The Columbia River flows north from the lake while the neighbouring Kootenay flows south. For approximately 100 km (60 mi) the Columbia River and the Kootenay River run parallel and when they reach Canal Flats, the two rivers are less than 2 km (1.2 mi) apart. Historically the Baillie- Grohman Canal connected the two bodies of water to facilitate the navigation of steamboats (although only three trips were ever made through it).

The Walkers departed from England in April of 1913 aboard The Empress of Ire- land. They landed in Montreal and traveled west to Golden, British Columbia on the Canadian Pacific Railway. There they were met by Basil G. Hamilton and traveled by Cadillac with him to Wilmer. The Walker family lived in a house in Wilmer for the summer of 1913. Upon dis- covering that the land they purchased was not suitable for farming, Arthur negotiated a trade with the company and by the fall of 1913 they had settled into their new home. Their farm was the Ben Able Farm located by Able Creek in Invermere. A large pro- portion of the Walker farm was given over to potato production.
