Bull trout are astonishing—big, powerful, and ferocious.
When one takes your fly, it may scream off and take you for a ride—or, like mine, head straight to the bottom and pretend to be a boulder.
An unforgettable day in eastern BC!

Seeking bull trout in the wild landscape of eastern British Columbia.
We descended miles down a gravel road, then a 3-mile hike past a landslide and beaver dam into grizzly country. Worth every step: Lou landed two magnificent bull trout and I landed one—all over 26 inches.

While reduced in size, we continue to call for clearcut to be halted, and for this important area (Critical Habitat for #BullTrout) to be permanently protected 🐟

💡 #Highwood Update 💡
At least for this winter, we believe we can safely say the #Kananaskis clearcut will NOT proceed.
If it weren't for our collective efforts to pause this logging (multiple times), the #BullTrout population we confirmed might already be gone 🐟🧪🔬
As ever, let's keep going!

🐟 Using #SDMs, researchers mapped how #bulltrout in Northern Canada might respond to #climatewarming. If they can’t adapt, suitable habitat may shrink by up to 46% — but with niche expansion, driven by local #adaptation, it could grow instead. 🗺️

⚠️ Despite the now-deconstructed Highwood Bridge being built in #CriticalHabitat for #BullTrout, DFO has elected NOT to fine West Fraser ⚠️
If companies can break the DFO's own rules and face no meaningful consequences, how can we expect endangered species to survive?
