“Capturing The Enchantment of the Forest,<br />
Barbara Brown satisfies our longing to feel<br />
connected with nature. She brings to life<br />
the magic of the forest and all the splendor<br />
it beholds. Her depiction of trees is always<br />
enhanced by a touch of other-worldliness,<br />
symbolism and geometry.”<br />

<strong>September</strong> Spawning Season<br />
<strong>September</strong> brings you the chance to<br />
watch thousands of spawning salmon<br />
head up the waterways to release<br />
their eggs into the water.<br />
The Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park is<br />
one of the top spots to experience<br />
the spawning mayhem. Meadow<br />
Creek spawning channels are also<br />
very active and produce between<br />
10–15 million fry annually with mean<br />
egg-to-fry survival rate of 45%. There<br />
are fisheries staff on site during the<br />
spawning season which is August<br />
through October.<br />
Spawners<br />
At about<br />
four years,<br />
kokanee<br />
salmon mature<br />
and undergo dramatic changes<br />
in preparation for spawning. The male<br />
turns bright red and develops a slightly<br />
humped back and elongated jaw.<br />
Females turn a darker shade of red.<br />
Eggs<br />
When spawners<br />
arrive at Meadow<br />
Creek, females<br />
use their<br />
tails to dig nests in the gravel. They<br />
then release as many as 1000 eggs for<br />
the males to fertilize. The female again<br />
uses her tail to cover the eggs with<br />
gravel. Once all the eggs are laid, the<br />
adults die.<br />
Alevins<br />
Kokanee eggs<br />
remain in the<br />
gravel of the<br />
spawning stream, hatching out in<br />
January or February as “alevins” nour<br />
ished by egg sacs attached to their<br />
bodies, but still remaining in the<br />
gravel.<br />

Fry<br />
In a few<br />
months<br />
alevins<br />
develop<br />
into kokanee “fry” which emerge<br />
from the gravel and ride the currents<br />
downstream.<br />
Adults<br />
Kokanee<br />
adults<br />
then<br />
complete<br />
the remainder of their life cycle in the<br />
fresh waters of the Kootenay Lake<br />
ecosystem to begin the cycle again.<br />
