Canada's westernmost province, which stretches from the thousands of islands and inlets on the Pacific west coast, to the Rocky and Columbia mountain ranges in the east, is renown for its spectacular mountain and coastal scenery. British Columbia is 60 per cent forested (much of it temperate rainforest), 75 per cent of the province is mountainous, and the northern two-thirds is largely unpopulated and wild. Many species of wild life that have become scarce elsewhere still flourish here. Fish are still abundant in its lakes, marshes and streams, whales and porpoises cruise the rugged coastline, and many rare mammals and birds still prosper in the forests and on the plains.

It seems to me that many anglers don't pay enough attention to their tackle when they go trout fishing. When I refer to the word 'tackle', for the purposes of this article, I'm referring specifically to the rod, reel, line, and bait/hook sizes that are used while trout fishing. All of this gear (tackle) is very important when fishing for trout. Probably to a much greater degree than you might have imagined. You see, trout have very sensitive eyesight and sense of smell, plus they are normally found in very cold clear water which means that things such as the weight of your line will effect the number of bites that you receive. Your line is much more visible to trout in clear water, and therefore...

Many aquarium keepers think that a planted aquarium is much more difficult to maintain than an unplanted one, but live plants will actually help the aquarium owner with the maintenance work by having a beneficial influence on the water quality. A well-planted aquarium can also reduce stress in fishes and make them more prone to spawning. Many common fish diseases will primarily attack stressed fish, and providing your aquarium inhabitants with a safe and restful environment that is similar to their native home is therefore a very wise decision. There are however many fish species that should not be kept with plants since they will destroy them. There are also many fish species that will feel more at...

The first series of open fishing boats was developed in 1974. They ranged from 4.8 m (16 ft) to 9 m (30 ft) for use in inshore and coastal fishery. They were initially utilizing the local timber of standard commercial sizes. Planking was done with boards of uniform width to simplify building and reduce wastage. The hull shape was well adapted to economical, low powered engines. In the current scenario, plywood has maintained its role as a material well adapted to use in small-scale boat building. Most fishermen these days prefer long and slender canoe-shaped boats, as the longer boats reach a higher speed with a small engine than a short, fat boat. A certain beam will be required for a satisfactory...

Like the classic cane fishing rods, the fishing gadget is thick at the handle (bottom) and is tapered and thinner at the tip. This very basic design allows handling stability and flexible movement of the entire length of the shaft. Types of Fishing Rods and Specifications A typical fishing rod...

When any type of fuel is burnt, lots of different chemicals are produced. The smoke that comes from a fire or the fumes that come out of a car exhaust don't just contain the sooty grey particles that you can see - they also contains lots of invisible gases. Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - which is why it is known as "acid rain". Acid rain has an adverse effect on...
