Life bean for 0 C0027 where
the blue glaciers ‘oversce the
thic kly timbered forest flanks that
roll in smooth sweeps down to
the valley floor of the Zymocts,

It’sa wild place where the Pall
hunts of giant bears are recorded
in the sand, The river there is
quick and loud. It’s a rugged.

place to grow up.

In the late spring of 1986, 0
C0027 was dividing her time be-
tween avoiding larger predators
and preying upon the tiny crea-
tures that lurk between the river
racks.

‘Two years later, alter with-
standing -the floods. of: two -sca-~
sons, 0 C0027 had gained weight
and ‘strength. Almost six: inches
long now, she sustained ‘herself
on a dict of salmon fry and grey-
winged mayllies.

In her third May 0 C0027 was 8.
inches long. A rainbow trout. in-:
miniature, her fierce nature fully
developed. During that spring she
felt the strong pull of the'sew and
began the long journey that took

An ep

of the wo canyons, out into the
silt-laden walers of the Skcena. to

and finally to the ocean,

0 €0027's travels were lot
donc. She moved north through
the dark expanse, following. the
windswept caastline for hundreds
of miles, grazing on zooplankton
and shrimp.

Almost two years later, off the
Aleutian Islands, 0 C0027 —~ now

‘a powerful 32-inch long fish

weighing 14 potnds — felt an ir-
resistible urge ‘to retrace an une
cestral odyssey. She moved pur-
poscfully through “the green

_colimns of light navigating wn-
; erringly toward her home stream.

“In-the approuch waters to the
Skecna- she was joined by waves

A half mile north of the spot the
fishermen cali Slippery Rock,
nearing Port Simpson, 0 C0027
could) move no mare, She
thrashed frantically, but the force

_ would not yield.

Doug Round, who lives in Vic-

toria but fishes the waters in Area:

Four when ithe fishing is good,

. began, bringing in his net soon

after 0 C0027 became enmeshed
in it. Round carefully picked her
out of the net, slipped an orange
tag” marked 0 CQ027 into the
needle nosed gun provided him
by the Ministry of the Environ-

Ss

‘ment and poked it into her hide

on the right side of her dorsal fin.
Afler christening the fish and
tossing her overboard, Round
logged the tag number. along with
the date and noted that the her Icft
gill was slightly damaged. It was
Tuesday, July 26th. The fleet had
been fishing since Sunday and
fortunately for 0 C0027 the boats
would soon return to dockside. -
“Despite seals and the Skeena’s
other hazards, 0 C0027 reached
the mouth of the Zymoetz a
couple of weeks afler her near fa-

ic upriver odyssey

tal encounter wilh a gillnet with
no new wounds,

Over the course of the next
weck she passed through Baxter’s
Riffle, Blackie’s, the Wall and
the strong water of the Lower
cuyon. At the foot of Matson

Canyon, in a run called The Pipe,
she rested for a day then moved
on past Kelly Creck, through the
Trapper and past the Clore. At a
run named for Skeena pioncer
angler Ted Rawlins — a scenic
sireich of river flanked by a rock
wall and filled with the large
boulders steelhead feel comfort
able around, she rested again.

It was there, on au overcast
moming, that a muted gold fash
caught her eye. The feeding in-
stincts honed during her first
three years of tile made 0 C0027
move to the strange creature that

looked a little like a stonefly, a

caddisfly and a baitfish all. at
once. She bit it then Iet it go...
Moments later it Was’ ‘above her

creature once more. This time the

ereature bit back. The sharp pain -

sent her into the air, She shook:

her head trying to dislodge it then.

ran to the tail of the pool in a vain
attempt to fee it.

. The searing pain turned .to a
dull ache. After a few minutes

she and a few more escape at- .

tempts she was pulled up to the

sandy stretch between the rocks -

lining the run.
‘I slipped the hook from the
hinge of her jaw and read the

number on the spaghetti tag Doug,

Round put in her. I, noted the
damage to her gill and. net marks
on lier nose.

0 C0027 bolted back into the -

deeper water. She’s probably. far
npstreant by now. Resting until

May when she will spawn not far
from the spot she was spawned
Six years ago.
