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

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.

Short videos

I came across a few short videos, the longest being about 15 minutes in length, all created by Nick Didlick Photography

The fishing bears of the Pitt river
Grizzly Bears in the Pitt River Valley

Fishing with Sven
Where the Wild Fish Live

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.

Dealing with the Run of River issue

This blog will be open to all for a discussion about the issues, that effect the Upper Pitt River.
A website has been set up. Upper Pitt River primarily to put into one place all the information about the Upper Pitt River that is available.

And also two other blogs Pitt River and one about Pitt Lake which will primarily be filled with the history, ecology and the issues that affect the Watershed.
