B12: Spawning Rivers Spaning Years

This a a nice walk with some different veiws of the Nechako River.

The Nechako River ( /nəˈtʃækoʊ/) arises on the Nechako Plateau east of the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Clumbia and flows north toward Fort Fraser, then east to Prince George where it enters the Fraser River. "Nechako" is an anglicization of [netʃa koh], its name in the indigenous Carrier language which means "big river".

Its main tributaries are the Stuart River, which enters about 45 km (28 mi) east of Vanderhoof; the Endako; the Chilako, which enters about 15 km (9 mi) west of Prince George; and the Nautley River, a short stream from Fraser Lake. Among the other tributaries is the Cheslatta River, which drains Cheslatta Lake and enters the Nechako at the foot of the Nechako Canyon via Cheslatta Falls and begins at the Kenny Dam and forms the Nechako Reservoir.

Fishermen will find a variety of fish including whitefish, chinook salmon, sockeye salmon, sturgeon, rainbow trout, bull trout and pink salmon here.
