Lobster in Coquitlam river
« on: July 01, 2015, 11:13:37 PM »
I was walking my dog on the river today and then saw some movement in the water, and naturally just sat there watching the water, and to my big surprise, it was a little miniature lobster, maybe 6 inches long?  Has anyone seen or heard of a lobster capable of living in a freshwater river?  I've been googling for the last hour and couldn't find any answers.

Damien, fishing is a ongoing learning process just like anything else. If I were to assume that all the information is already known by everyone, then this website would not have been started in the first place.

Freshwater crayfish is a very good indicator of how clean water is . They are very sensitive to pollution.

Rodney, I agree, 100%.  And i am not here to argue.  I am of the opinion that this example transcends fishing.  Its like seeing a raccoon and then saying " I didnt know we had koalas here".  On an open forum.

Lol good stuff, I'm proud to be deaf, I am open to be made fun of haha.  Again, like Rodney said, I'm not afraid to ask questions, life's about learning and exchanging information :)
