UBC Institute of Fisheries Field Record B.C. 63-16

Description

This is the dry season and the river is very shallow. We travelled with an outboard motor upstream a couple of miles and decided to poison the shallow smaller part of the stream passing around an island. Not many fish obtained. Mostly small mullet gerrids and anchovy. Some flatfish and gobies.
