Rick Taylor has lived on Kootenay Lake for 40 years and has seen some ups and downs in fish numbers and size but commented that the last few years have been catastrophic for the Kokanee numbers.
The Kootenay Lake Angler Incentive Program (KLAIP) is designed to help the iconic kokanee salmon population recover after their collapse in 2013.
Anglers are encouraged to harvest rainbow and bull trout in the main body of Kootenay Lake, then bring heads to local depots to be entered in the monthly draw for a prize worth $1,000.
