id just like to report that the alouette is doing very well there are lots of fish in the system from Small steelhead smolts lots of cutthroat trout there are all on the 10 inch side but boy do they fight on light tackle.

the alouette was nearly killled off but a fertilizer run off that devastated the lower river i have seen this river in bad shape and am glad to beable to fish it as it is close to home i just wish that they would stock the river like they do the vedder cause that hatchery program has been extremely succsseful

happy fishing to all see ya on the vedder

hey thanks for the heads up on the alouette river. i"ve fished there a number of times this summer with dry flies, caught lots of little rainbows. no cutty's though, and nothing over 8-9 inches. what's the best way to fly fish ( or just fish - spinning rod? ) for other species in that river? thanks in advance

just remember that there is no retention of chum anywhere in the river, no retention of chinook below 216th street, and you may only retain 1 hatchery coho per day after
October 1. There is also no fishing above the triangluar signs posted at Alco park. Also please respect private property as there are alot of residence that do actually own right to the middle of the river and not the high water mark so when you are told that you are on private property you mostly are and these people will call the police so there is no point arguing.

October 1 is the Alouette and November 1 is the Kanaka

Thats IF they open Kanaka which they have not done in the last two years.

i ve caught most of my fish on the 1/8 OZ gibbs spoon hammered brass with the fire stripe its lethal but i took the stock hook off and put on a number 10 dry fly hook and haven't lost a fish yet cause i by accident i hooked a small rainbow through the head the stock hook was to big so i went smaller.

But small spoons and small pink spinners work really well , I release all my fish i catch to preserve this rivers runs which are very very small if you fish the river often you will probably see me i drive a green chevy pickup usually down by 216 dont hesitate to say hello

 Actually it was only closed last year for retention and that was because we did not expect any hatchery fish back to the system as we did not clip any for that brood year. The year before it was open for retention of one hatchery a day.

Anyone know the law pertaining to land/resource ownership when river changes course onto private property. Same issue on the Vedder.

If you own a lake isn't the fish inside it yours. If you own the land the river runs over aren't these trespassing fish also yours so you can net it on your "native" land. Just curious to know

I was under the impression that you could not own water, only the land under it. In other words, where an individual owns up to the middle of the river, you'd be trespassing if you were touching the bottom. On the other hand, anyone who owns property, in theory owns everything below it to the center of the earth and the column of air above it. So if there is water between the land that you own (river bed) and air above it, then ..................?

gotta love a country where a natural resource like a river is privately owned......

lets not forget that mineral rights overrule property rights as well, but thats a whole different argument...
