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. These traps have been used very successfully to capture burbot in other lakes of the Kootenay Region. A total of 266 trap-days of effort were expended during the spring and autumn capture periods, resulting in a catch of 57 burbot of which three had been tagged in previous studies. There were zero recaptures for tags applied during this study. These catch rates were approximately one tenth of that expected based on other lakes, and resulted in a population estimate with wide 95% confidence limits (11,194 ± 9,557) that restrict its application to research and management questions. However, new information was obtained on aspects of life history and habitat use. Size distribution of burbot in the lake changed substantially between the spring and autumn periods, suggesting that a large number of adult burbot may have been absent from the lake during spring sampling. This contradicts an earlier radiotelemetry study and may indicate that post-spawning movement patterns differ from year to year. Also, when spring and fall size distributions in the lake are combined, it appears that the 1997 cohort was more abundant than the 1999 cohort. This contrasts with the relative abundance of these two cohorts in the tributary spawners of 2001. Depths occupied by lake-captured burbot were different from those determined in an earlier study that suggested a length of 39 cm as the size at which burbot moved from shoreline to deeper habitats. In this study, burbot less than 30 cm were captured at depths up to 6 m, and burbot over 50 cm were captured as shallow as 1 m. June 2002 •ii Columbia Lake Burbot Monitoring Program Westslope Fisheries If future population estimates are contemplated, consideration should be given to the following recommendations: • Assume relatively low catch rates and plan for a longer, intensive collection period; • Consider that autumn sampling coinciding with kokanee spawning migration (and spawning locations) may be more productive than spring sampling; • Use fresh kokanee bait to improve capture rates if available; and • Consider expanding the study area beyond Columbia Lake (e.g., Windermere Lake, Moyie Lake). June 2002 •iii Columbia Lake Burbot Monitoring Program Westslope Fisheries Acknowledgements Funding for the “Columbia Lake Burbot Population Estimate” was provided by Columbia- Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership, Fisheries Renewal British Columbia (FsRBC) and Columbia Basin Trust (CBT), and administered by the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (CBFWCP). CBFWCP also provided in kind support of the project for planning and design of the study, aspects of fieldwork, and reporting. The CBFWCP is a joint initiative between BC Hydro and the Government of British Columbia to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife populations in the Canadian portion of the Columbia River basin. The authors wish to acknowledge all the individuals that have contributed to bringing this project to a successful conclusion. Their contributions and on-going efforts are greatly appreciated. Marty Williams, Pat Nicholas (St. Mary’s Band), Glen Smith, (Westslope Fisheries), Kenton Andreashuk, Chris Beers (CKFRP), Harald Manson, Beth Woodbridge (CBFWCP), and Colin Spence (Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection) provided technical support. Dr. Carl Schwarz (Cooperative Resource Management Institute, Simon Fraser University) provided advice on the sampling design. Cod traps were loaned by the Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection.

  • 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).
