History of the Christina Lake Commercial Kokanee Fishery Currently, Christina Lake is a popular recreation destination. One main recreational activity that visitors partake in is fishing. Rainbow Trout, Kokanee and bass are the most sought after species. Historically, Christina Lake has provided a moderate fishery. Rainbow Trout Kokanee Largemouth Bass

The commercial fishery concentrated on shore spawning kokanee from the turn of the century until the 1960’s. It was believed that shore spawning kokanee were a superior tasting fish at spawning time (mid Nov.- mid Jan.). They were easier to catch in abundance at this time, and this developed the kokanee market. Unlike stream spawning Kokanee, shore spawners do not turn red during spawning. The primary method of harvest was drag seine. This involved use of a weighted net that would be strung out in the water and then hauled in to the beach or to a boat.

Harvested Kokanee were boxed and shipped as far away as Calgary and Spokane. The biggest market was for the city of Trail. Eventually the fishery became controlled by the Fish and Wildlife Branch through permitting. Commercial and sustenance permits were reduced and eventually eliminated.

Why did the fishery fail? There are three main factors that contributed to the decline of the commercial fishery: 1. declining fish size 2. conflict with sport-fishing interests 3. lake ice conditions coinciding with spawning time.
