When the water receded, the juveniles were stranded and eventually died due to lack of water and high water I temperature. The eggs that were spawned onto the road obviouslynever made it to the next spring. It was determined by the Ministry of Environment that by enhancing the existing beaver ponds, water could be directed away from the road. This would increase the salmon'g rearing habitat and allow them to migrate freely to the river without using the road. , The Kitsumkalum Band Council, leader of the. Killutsal Creek Rearing Pond Enhancement Project, obtained funding from Fisheries Renewal BC through Terrace and Kitlmat Partners for Salmonids. With the participation of BC Hydro, iii!iiiii!!il Pacific Northern Gas, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests, Skeena Cellulose Inc. and West Fraser Sawmills Ltd, work on the project began in early September and was concluded by month's end (2o0o). Prior to construction, the area was extensively =fish-salvaged" - using traps and an eleetroshocker, fish were gathered and moved to a safe location. The main channel of Killutsal Creek was diverted into an old, historic channel so the construction area would be isolated. Silt fencing was used to contain the sediment and minimize its release into the creek during construction. This project was successfully completed and monitoring the effectiveness of the dams through visual checks, photographs taken at permanent photo points, and observations of beaver activity will continue through the summer of 2001.

After a short night's sleep on the banks of the CoquihaUa River, we put in another half day trying to thumb out of Hope. After walking miles in Saharan temperatures from the spot where our last ride dropped us, we reached the camp ground at Nicola Lake, The place sizzled. Crickets chirped endlessly. Soon after the tent was up, I accidentally hung my air matress on a nail sticking out of one of its poles, banishing any hope of nocturnal comfort. The stuff needed for camping was heavier then, so we'd cut down on food, arrogantly expecting to supplement those few cans of beans and boxes of Mac and Cheese with the fish we would catch; a notion that vanished quickly on the day after the Night of the Beetle. The giant bug must have been the harbinger of storms, for the clouds blanketed the clear sky and the kind of rain that bounces off the ground poured out them. "How can it get so cold so fast?" asked Ray as we shivered over our morn- ing macaroni. Fortunately the rain had stopped, hut a cold wind still blew. After a long walk to a bluff overlooking the lake, we were warmer, but not much, We chose the spot after realizing that our feeble casts wouldn't take our spoons past the shallows in a.
