| The small Quatse
River flows north from Quatse Lake to Hardy Bay at Port Hardy on the
north eastern tip of Vancouver Island.
The Quatse River's total length is only 10km, and its fishable
length is limited to the lowermost 5km.
Despite its short
length, the Quatse River supports a sizeable run of steelhead, fall
coho and a few sea-run cutthroat. Stocking of cutthroat has been initiated
in the hope of developing the fishery for this species.
Access is via
crossings of the roads to Holberg
and Coal Harbour (paved),
and by wading along the stream.
