My father first brought me to the shores of Babine when I was about 7 years old. As a federal fisheries officer, he would patrol the lake, tributaries and bring me along during the summer months while he surveyed spawning sockeye salmon escapement along the many tributaries. This is where my early fishing passion started on these forays, targeting hungry rainbow trout feeding on sockeye eggs and catching these same trout about 40 years ago. 40 years later we’ve returned for yet another bucket list fishing trip with the whole family, being able to share this with my boys, now 8 and 10 and hosted by veteran fly fisher and originally Smithers local Rick Garner @rick70497. This first fish was the first cast from my recently refurbished and very old bamboo rod of my great grandfather, Justice Henry Irving Bird and eloquently refurbished and brought back to life by friend and expert craftsman and rod builder @archerbamboo. Good friends who build you up help make memories to last a lifetime. #fuckcancer #happyfathersday

Thanks to @peninsulastreams and @gofishbc for putting on an amazing exchange of information for Vancouver Island cutthroat trout and inviting us to learn and share what we know. Field work, science presentations, stewardship gatherings, and a few local beers along the way made for an action packed weekend. In his summary of genetics of cutthroat trout Brendan Anderson reminded us that “Each Cutthroat stream holds a unique population that is a snowflake, distinct from the population in the neighboring stream.” As we look back at the city of Victoria we think about all the special people we met and the unique cutthroat trout we learned about. Their is so much work left to do in order to get cutthroat science caught up with our other anadromous fish but it is comforting to know their is an army of talented scientists, anglers and conservationists in this part of the range that are focused on the task. Special thanks to @robinsonsflyfishing @finestatseavic and @wildsalmoncenter for making this opportunity possible for the Coastal Cutthroat Coalition.
