	Kootenay Lake, British Columbia, Canada
		Kootenay Lake, the largest natural lake in southern British Columbia, is cradled within the Selkirk Mountains and bordered by the Purcells to the east.
		Kootenay Lake is shaped like a bow and arrow, with the Main Lake (63 miles/100 km long in the North-South direction) being the bow, and the West Arm (21 miles/34 km long in a westerly and southwesterly direction from Balfour to Nelson) being the arrow.
		Kootenay Bay: The small lakeside resort community of Kootenay Bay serves as the eastern terminal of the Kootenay Lake ferry, connecting with Balfour on the western shore.

	History of the Basin - Kootenai River Network, Inc.
		The topography of the Kootenai River sub-basin is dominated by steep, heavily forested mountain canyons and valleys.
		The headwaters of the Kootenay River in British Columbia consist primarily of the main fork of the Kootenay River and Elk River.
		Kootenai River tributaries are characteristically high-gradient mountain streams with bed material consisting of various mixtures of sand, gravel, rubble, boulders, and drifting amounts of clay and silt, predominantly of glacio-lacustrine origin.

		The legendary size and strength of the Gerrard trout of Kootenay Lake almost led to their demise in the early 20th century, when the British Columbia government, looking for a lucrative revenue source, began to sell Gerrard trout eggs to buyers from around the world.
		Not surprisingly, numbers of Gerrard trout in Kootenay Lake dropped dramatically, and in 1949, a count of spawners in the Lardeau River revealed that a mere 45 fish – including only 22 females – were left to perpetuate the unique Gerrard strain.
		Kokanee in the West Arm of Kootenay Lake are a unique stock that tend to be larger than kokanee in the North and South Arms of the Lake.

		Kootenay Lake is home to the Gerrard Rainbow Trout, fed on a diet of Kokanee Salmon, a landlocked sockeye, they are largest trout in the world with some specimens topping 35 pounds.

		Kootenay Lake is a glacier-fed giant of a lake in the southeast corner of BC, nestled in the hollow left by a retreating ice-sheet, between the rugged Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges.
		It is a mistake to underestimate this lake, as strong winds often mix unpredictably with katabatic gusts from the many side drainages that empty into the lake, creating surprisingly large waves.
