Bull Trout, the provincial fish of Alberta, are a key fish in streams across the mountains and foothills Several factors contribute to the decline of Bull Trout in the province. due to competition with non-native fish species, including Brook Trout. ’s native range and provide important spawning habitat for Bull Trout. An introduced population of Cutthroat Trout is established upstream of the falls, suggesting quality

In Ontario and eastern Canada, our focus tends to be on Brook Trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) given Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ), Bull Trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ), Arctic Grayling The Bow River is a world class Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout fishery.  Despite this stretch being within the historical range of Bull Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout, these ( Salmo trutta ) and Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ).

Temperature Monitoring: Maintaining Cold Water Environments is a Hot Topic In many parts of Canada, native trout In Alberta, for example, these declines have led to populations of Bull Trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) and Westslope Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ) being listed as threatened while Athabasca Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) has been listed as endangered under the Federal Species at Risk 18° C it is unlikely that Bull Trout will continue to persist in that environment.

Trout Unlimited Canada is proud to announce its new identity as Freshwater Conservation Canada.

MILLBROOK –  Freshwater Conservation Canada (formerly Trout Unlimited Canada), a national leader in freshwater effort will help to cool this reach of the stream and reset conditions to support the return of Brook Trout Brook Trout are resident to Squirrel Creek, but due to multiple factors, they are rarely seen in this online pond upstream, this reach of stream is less hospitable to coldwater fish species like Brook Trout “I can remember catching large Brook Trout in this stream when I was a child, but it has been many years

A common misperception of Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) seems to be that its work and interest are focused The health of these waters, including those that are stocked with cold water fish species, primarily trout Many of the ‘aquatic resources’, especially trout, don’t like it! Lake aeration helps, but even with that, some lakes experience a decline in DO by mid-summer that trout that might improve the water quality and help maintain a sufficient level of DO to enable year-round trout

As both predator (of invertebrates) and prey (think bull trout snack), it helps maintain the balance the sculpin but also other species, including those that are more directly important to humans, like trout BULL TROUT LIKE THIS RELIES ON PREY SUCH AS ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCULPIN. Recovery potential assessment of Rocky Mountain Sculpin (Cottus sp.), Eastslope populations, in Alberta

trap in 2020,  to a bridge retrofit in 2022, TUC has been working to help rehabilitate threatened Bull Trout braiding and multiple fords contributed sediment to the creek, degrading critical habitat for Bull Trout

Athabasca Rainbow Trout used to be so plentiful that they were excluded from catch limits and minimum Cumulative effects of land use have impacted water quality and ecosystem health in the Athabasca Rainbow Trout

Rio Grande native Cutthroat Trout have since been reintroduced and a barrier installed to protect the , Brook Trout, and Brown Trout. Banff National Park is home to two at-risk salmonid fish species: Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Cutthroat Trout in Banff National Park. , Brook Trout, and Brown Trout.

activities degrade riparian areas and instream fish habitat that support native fish species, including Bull Trout When this study was first conducted in 2021, only two Brook Trout were captured within the project area When we repeated this study in 2025, our staff caught one Bull Trout, fourteen Brook Trout, and three are happy to see that the structures we have built are providing good habitat for the threatened Bull Trout The Bull Trout we caught in the Radiant Creek restoration area Much of this restoration work was completed

It can affect salmonid populations including trout and whitefish and is caused by a microscopic parasite Not all susceptible species exhibit signs of whirling disease – for example, brown trout are known to Westslope cutthroat trout and some strains of rainbow trout, however, are highly susceptible. province-wide were deployed to sample all “susceptible waters” in the province (e.g., waters that support trout
