Columbia River fishing is heating up with record boat and bank angler counts, especially on the main stem—over 300 rods and 87 salmonid boats spotted in one stretch. Anglers are reeling in steelhead, sockeye, and chinook, with some sturgeon and shad action too. Hot spots include Woodland, Kalama, and Longview for steelhead, while the Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers are delivering big chinook hauls. Trout fans got some fresh action too: Spring Creek and Swift Power Canal stocked over 2,400 rainbow trout in just two days.

A First Nation in British Columbia is taking bold action against wildfire devastation by launching its own tree nursery—the Osoyoos Forest Nursery. Owned by the Osoyoos Indian Band, this 10-hectare facility will churn out 18 million seedlings annually, with plans to plant 5 million themselves to restore lands ravaged by recent fires like the Inkaneep Creek blaze. Partnering with K&C Silviculture Ltd., the nursery prioritizes climate-resilient species like lodgepole and ponderosa pines, while using water-recycling tech to combat the Okanagan’s dry climate. Chief Clarence Louie celebrates this shift from logging to growing, calling it a vital step toward healing forests and securing the future—backed by federal funding, even as the broader two billion trees program shrinks.

A humpback whale washed ashore near the West Coast Trail, sparking concern as it’s the fourth such death in B.C. this year—nearly matching the grim record from 2019. Ten grey whales have also died, hinting at deeper oceanic troubles. The Huu-ay-aht First Nation, who discovered the whale, is leading the investigation and urging boaters to stay clear amid rising whale sightings. While some experts link increased whale activity to abundant food, the grey whale deaths may signal starvation from depleted Alaskan feeding grounds. The First Nation is collaborating with Fisheries and Oceans to determine the cause and may seek to preserve the skeleton for cultural significance.
