Coulter's Whitefish

Images coming soon.

This species is a small fish first discovered in 1892 in the Kicking-Horse River at Field, British Columbia, one of the headwaters of the Columbia River. Up to the present time no other specimens have been obtained. It reaches a length of 8 or 10 inches or less, and would doubtless be a good food-fish but for its small size. Nothing distinctive is known as to its habits or game qualities.
