Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society
Shuswap River

The Kalamalka Fly Fishers donate $750.00 annually to the King Fisher Society. They teach the students about the Shuswap River Salmon and what part they play in the ecosystem. The students collect eggs and take them back to their schools for further study. The fry are released in the spring to continue on their cycle of life.

Coldstream Creek
The Kalamalka Fly Fishers donate $750 annually to School District #22 for the Salmonoid Program. This has helped to transport hundreds of students to partake in a firsthand view of Kokanee spawning in Coldstream Creek Park. The students learn the life cycle of the Kokanee through a lecture and a demonstration. In addition , several aquariums have been donated to the elementary schools to study the egg to fry Kokanee life cycle. The fry are released back in to the water where the eggs were collected.
