  • Lake Revelstoke Reservoir Creel and Visitor Use Survey 2000
    Lake Revelstoke Reservoir Creel and Visitor Use Survey 2000 by: K. Bray and M. Campbell Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program Revelstoke, B.C. January 2001 Executive Summary From May 5 to September 4, 2000, an access point creel survey was conducted on Lake Revelstoke. The principal objectives were to assess the sport fishery on Lake Revelstoke, collect biological data on fish species in the reservoir, and provide a baseline against which future change can be measured. A visitor use survey was conducted concurrently with the creel survey to gauge visitor opinions and perceptions about Lake Revelstoke and to determine how people were using the reservoir. The number of partners involved in this project presents a good example of both the challenges of managing a complex project and the success when many parties work together. Random sampling was stratified by day type (weekend/holidays and weekdays), site location, and time of day. Seven major access point sites were identified and assigned selection probabilities based on previous surveys and current conditions. Aerial survey counts of boats and campers and ground counts of campers were conducted at informal sites to help estimate the proportion of effort missed. 536 angler interviews were conducted with anglers from B.C. comprising 91.6% of those surveyed and Albertans 6.9%. Residents of Revelstoke accounted for half (50.2%) of the interviews and Okanagan anglers for 30.4%. The average trip length was 2.81 ± 0.16 hours with an average of 2.29 anglers and 2.13 rods per boat. Most fishing on Lake Revelstoke was done from a boat (96%) with lures used during almost all recorded fishing trips.

  • Lake Revelstoke Reservoir Bull Trout Radio Telemetry
    Lake Revelstoke Reservoir Bull Trout Radio Telemetry Progress Report 2001-2002 K. Bray Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program Revelstoke, B.C. December 2001 Executive Summary Bull trout are supremely well adapted to live in the rugged, glacial environment of the Canadian Columbia River system, occupying the position of top predator in the aquatic food chain. They are, however, especially sensitive to impacts related to human activities, such as logging, hydroelectric development, mining, and urban development, and are particularly vulnerable to angling. Despite what are considered to be the healthiest bull trout populations within the species’ range, British Columbia bull trout were blue-listed in 1994, meaning they are considered vulnerable, and therefore, are afforded special consideration. The goal of this project is to determine spawning and migratory movements of Lake Revelstoke Reservoir bull trout and identify spawning locations. This information is valuable for managing and protecting adfluvial bull trout by identifying critical habitats and run timing. Radio telemetry is an efficient and cost effective means of determining this kind of information and has been used extensively to determine spawning movements of bull trout This project represents the final phase in a basin wide plan to investigate bull trout spawning locations and migratory movements in the large Columbia River reservoirs as part of a conservation strategy for the species. This is a first year progress report containing preliminary data only, a final report with complete interpretation will be prepared at the end of the project. Due to the sensitive nature of information related to bull trout spawning, staging, and overwintering locations, site specific data are not included in this report and are available once permission has been obtained from the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection.

  • Columbia River Operations Summary Fall 2020
    Pend d’Oreille Reservoir. Photo by Fabio Moscatelli. Columbia River Operations Summary Fall 2020 This publication provides an overview of BC Hydro’s operations on the Columbia River. At 2,000 kilometres long, the Columbia River is the fourth largest river in North America. The headwaters of the Columbia River are in Canal Flats, British Columbia (B.C.). The river then flows northwest Canada through the Rocky Mountain trench before heading south through B.C. and Washington, emptying into the Pacific Vancouver Ocean at Astoria, Oregon. Other major tributaries of the Columbia River in Canada include the Kootenay and Pend U.S. d’Oreille rivers. Seattle Only 15% of the Columbia River basin lies in Canada. The Montana Canadian portion of the basin is mountainous and receives a Washington lot of snow producing, on average, 30 to 35% of the runoff for Canada and the United States (U.S.) combined. The river’s large annual discharge and relatively steep gradient Idaho gives it tremendous potential for the generation of Oregon electricity. The hydroelectric dams on the Columbia’s main stem and many more on its tributaries produce more hydroelectric power than on any other North American river. BC Hydro’s facilities in the Columbia basin include 13 hydroelectric dams, two water storage dams, and a system of reservoirs. Four of the larger reservoirs within Canada are operated according to the Columbia River Treaty and other agreements signed between Canada and the U.S. BCH20-712 Columbia River Operations Update | 1 Columbia River Treaty compensated for energy losses at its Kootenay Canal operations that result from the timing of water releases The Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United from the Libby Dam.
