If you do go after them remember it is prohibited to be in the possession of live crayfish in the province of Ab, and they must be killed upon capture.
They're in Nose Creek in the bajillions, so something is keeping them from taking off in the Bow, whether that's water quality or otherwise (brown trout diet?). I found one by the southland dog park ~10 years ago, and havent seen one since. They're around, just not a ton of them
Thanks Monger, as you know I've been walking in your DP footprints and I thank you for the work you guys did so long ago. Your work is directly responsible for the enjoyment we experience on that creek.
Actually Lille was operated from only 1901 to 1912 by the West Canadian Colleries producing coking coal, which is why the old coking ovens are still there located north of Frank. The Green Mountain mine operated from 1909 to 1953 and initially was a underground mine but was converted to an open pit mine by Scurry Rainbow, who gave up on the project and eventually were bought by Devon Canada. Who then sold the rights to Benga Mining aka Riversdale Resources. This operation is located north of Blairmore, no where near Lille. I have hiked to both locations as I lived in the Pass for 15 years. Yep get it right!
