I'd thought I'd share this here with you guys

[VA7DDP]

This is definitely unfortunate.

[koifish]

Nvm!

They wont survive long in the vedder, too cold and the current is too strong for them to stay very long

[koifish]

But what  if they go in* frog water?,  since it's slow moving

Looking forward to following this .. I think LMB would do really well in some of the lower river flood plain areas.. sunfish are prevalent in ditches that drain into the Sumas River ... if bass are not here now they will be soon, imo

Perhaps its time to follow the Yellowstone National Park example with NNIS.

http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/upload/14FishReg.pdf

EXAMPLE SECTION (what they do in yellowstone, note Rainbows are non-native to that area)
Northwest Region
Possession Limits
Native Trout Conservation Area:
• Catch and release all native fish.
• No possession limit on nonnative
fish.
Nonnative Trout Tolerance Area:
• Limit of 5 brook trout.
• Catch and release all rainbow and
brown trout.

Northeast region
All non-native fish must be killed in the Lamar drainage.
 
And another one

All Lake trout must be killed in Yellowstone Lake.

Or another one.

Illegal actions which cause
ecosystem degradation
• Possessing a native cutthroat
trout, or any other native
fish.
• Releasing a nonnative fish
alive within a mandatory kill
area.

i wonder since bass arent native here how the heck do they even get into the vedder or in the lowermainland? someone released it ? BUT where would they get it from?

[CohoJake]

I think that Judson Lake (a small lake the straddles the border west of Sumas) drains to the Sumas River.  I know Judson Lake has a well established largemouth population -  I caught them there when I was a kid.

I don't understand why Bass fishing is so popular, nobody eats them and most guys you see just horse them in as fast as they can, so much money spent on equipment, just does't make sense to me!

Go to Barrowtown pump station and you will see the gateway how those little bastards get in.

bass are tolerant to cold weather so they will survive in the vedder over winter. just look at the great lakes in ontario.....lots of bass. The ones that are caught should not be released back into the water....please kill it. I dont mind bass in lakes that are AWAY from salmon bearing streams but theses critters are an invasive fish in the vedder.

My kids have caught Largemouth bass and bluegills in the Fraser just under the mission bridge this past summer.

Go to Barrowtown pump station and you will see the gateway how those little bastards get in.

[salmonsturgeontrout]

They are also in the Stave...they get through during high water from silvermere lake
