Can anybody help with stocking records from late 1800s through 1990?  The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC has archived reports for recent years but I am looking for older reports that might identify when fish were first introduced to various alpine lakes.   I once had a link to such a record but have lost it and cannot find it again.   I think it was within the BC Government records.   Does anybody have such a link?

Thanks

Did you try Fisheries Inventory - Data Queries Tool



www.env.gov.bc.ca/fish/fidq/

This one might work better www.gofishbc.com/fish-stocking-reports.aspx, then click Archived fish stocking report

The Fisheries Inventory did the trick although I didn't find any mention of the lake of interest.   

The GoFish archive is only recent events.

Thanks both.

The Gofish archive report seems to only work in 10 yr. increments . Click your region, scroll down to the year you are interested in on the left column, when you generate report it will default to not available. Then look in the center of the page and your left column will have your selected year, click your right column to a 10 year increment. Now generate report.

 Example : Region, Okanagan
 Year on left column 1908 ( it will default to 1908, must have been the first recorded stocking)
 Year on right column 1916
 Generate report

Interesting, in 1905 they wipe out the Sockeye run on the Coquitlam River when they build the dam. Someone decides stocking 1000 Atlantic Salmon will fix it.
