F26 Hill Creek Spawning Channel
This project supports ongoing operations, maintenance, and monitoring at the Hill Creek spawning channel. Monitoring includes kokanee fry emigration, rainbow trout redd counts and fry emergence, overwintering egg survival, water quality at the spawning channel, and adult kokanee size, fecundity, and escapement.
The spawning channel was built by BC Hydro to compensate for spawning habitat lost due to the construction of Revelstoke Dam, and it now provides additional spawning habitat for kokanee and rainbow trout from Arrow Lakes Reservoir.
