The return of the Kitselas fishwheel to the Canyon marks a significant moment, reviving a selective community food fishing method that has proven successful over decades. The project is presented through testimonials from Wilfred McKenzie, Chief Glenn Bennett, Pat O’Brien, Fred McKenzie, Rick Moore, and Robert Bennett, all of whom played major roles in this endeavour.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Git Wet’ Sustainable Fisheries Inc., SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, BC Federation of Fly Fishers, and The Steelhead Society of B.C., whose support has made this initiative possible.

"Hopefully it's many years of success and we get to see the fish wheels being brought back to the canyon" - Fred McKenzie
