It's from Ness Lake. Apparently they can grow to 12" and average size being 5-6" they spawn in late winter early spring. This species is the Prickly Sculpin. They are also a bait fish for brown trout, bass and brook trout.

Are Brown trout stocked anywhere in BC?   I miss brown trout from when I was a kid in Newfoundland,   fun fish to catch

I believe you can catch brown trout down south.

I'm pretty sure you can catch them on Vancouver island, in the cowichan river.

No you're probably right but I would think those spikes would give them a severe case of heartburn.
