Geocache Description:

Should be a fairly easy find as you start your walk.
Note park opening/closing times.

Today I archived my previous cache here.That cache had the dubious distinction of being found--and removed-- by a bear,before it was found!

I have placed three caches in the park today.
Have fun.

FTF= Stash Seekers-CONGRATULATIONS!

"Big Qualicum employs a number of natural and artificial enhancement techniques to increase populations of Pacific salmon and steelhead trout. It was the first of the modern enhancement projects to be undertaken in this province and has provided a model for other developments. Research and assessment of this facility have increased the scientific data available on salmonid behaviour, life cycle and habitat requirements. And not to be forgotten is the annual landed value of over $10 million to the commercial and sport fisheries. The hatchery also provides an important source of fish for the native food-fish program and countless hours of enjoyment for the recreational fisherman."

This time of year(fall)there are many fisherman out.
Catch and release only.
