Legal Descriptions
Pitt to Harrison Lake (PDF); Harrison Lake to the Fraser River (PDF)


Historic Licensee operating areas ( Chilliwack Forestry District )  (PDF)

And a few images in a not so common format, from the Lands Office. Both are of the Upper Pitt River, and show some of the premptions.  You will need to have one of the appropriate converters installed since they are both in MrSID format ( Download Screen )      PNWS02Tr07    and   PNWS27Tr01


NOTE:  If any of these links do not work, please email me, and I will host the documents elsewhere.
The links are all to the FTP sites of the Chilliwack and Squamish Forestry Districts

Convicted guide operates in the Upper Pitt

From the Vancouver Sun:  Convicted guide outfitter allowed to continue operating in B.C.

Abe Dougan has 20-year ban from hunting and guiding in Yukon.

A sane person would hope that the conviction and sentencing in this case, would also automatically trigger censure in Canada, apparently Not.

Forty-three is a considerable amount of black bears to lose from this  area ( mis-management unit ) and this is just ONE guide. No mention of the other guides, and just regular hunters and what they removed.

Pitt River Aerial Tour   this is the longest video, it takes you by helicopter from the mouth of the Upper Pitt River, all the way along the river to the boundary with Garibaldi Provincial park.

Cheers
