The British Columbia government is encouraging anglers to pack their tackle boxes and head out to a remote lake on Vancouver Island as the province attempts to eradicate an invasive population of sport fish.
The B.C. Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship says the invasive smallmouth bass were illegally introduced into Echo Lake, southwest of Campbell River, and have since threatened the survival of native salmon and trout. |

"Smallmouth bass prey heavily on smaller fish and can out-compete native fish species," the provincial government said in a bulletin Tuesday, adding the situation could turn dire for local fisheries if the invasive bass make it into the nearby Campbell River watershed. |

Monday was opening day for the angling season on Prince Edward Island, and the start of year two for a trout tagging project on the Morell River.
Staff from P.E.I.'s Forests, Fish and Wildlife division captured, tagged and released the trout in the weeks leading up to the start of the season. |

They were on hand as the season opened to collect any tags and record where they were caught, including freshwater fish biologist Rosie MacFarlane. |
