Wild Thompson Steelhead
Sign Now
Currently, the Bristish Columbia Ministry of Environment (MOE) does not support hatchery augmentation of Thompson River steelhead, a position supported by the Steelhead Stream Classification Policy (SSCP at http://bit.ly/deIhkI).
The SSCP states that streams designated as wild will be managed to maintain and protect the abundance, distribution and genetic diversity of indigenous steelhead stocks.
MOE classifies the Thompson as a wild steelhead stream. Thompson steelhead are one of the few stocks of the redband subspecies of rainbow trout still regarded as wild as they have not been exposed to any significant period of hatchery augmentation.
Some BC angler conservation and community groups are advocating for a hatchery solution to the Thompsons problems.
We support wild Thompson River steelhead and are opposed to any hatchery augmentation.

Why not have it open until October 31 and close it then if the returns are low... if they are low, few fish would have been caught and the majority of the run is yet to come in. Additionally, having anglers on the river would be anoth

Lets keep the Thompson wild, these are special fish. Time to work towards solutions rather than furthering the damage. A special race of steelhead runs the Thompson and it would be absolutely terrible to play god with the evol

These are the most sacred Steelhead on the planet earth. Mistakes from the recent past have shown that the introduction of hatcheries to the wild system is not the best long term solution. Let mother nature take care of herself, and w

Sport fisheries proponents think that they inevitably produce revenue only with a production mentality, but they will never reproduce what is lost where native fish are impacted.
