• Description : The 2007 Cultus Lake pikeminnow der...(more)by took place on Saturday June 16th, 2007. This annual derby is part of the All About Fishing Family Event, which is organized by the Fraser Valley Salmon Society. The goal of the derby is to generate sportfishing interest among the younger generations, as well as assisting Fisheries and Oceans Canada on their Cultus Lake sockeye salmon recovery program. Northern pikeminnow is a predatory species that prey on juvenile salmon. Due to a lack of predators, the population of northern pikeminnow in Cultus Lake has grown to the size that causes a lower return of Cultus Lake sockeye salmon. Fisheries and Oceans Canada hopes to enhance the sockeye population by reducing the northern pikeminnow population. This event is also part of the province-wide family fishing weekend, which always takes place during the father's day weekend. Many thanks to Dean Werk and Greg Larson of Great River Fishing Adventures for taking us our on their boats.
