A steelhead trout at Hoy Creek, Coquitlam

You never know what you’ll see when down at the stream!

On April 13, streamkeepers from Hoy/Scott Watershed Society were out setting minnow traps and came across this steelhead carcass in Hoy Creek. A beautiful 31.5” female.

This is trout spawning season so although not as visible as salmon spawning in the fall, it’s still as important to keep people and animals out of the stream for fear of damaging/killing eggs in their nests.
