Little Shuswap Lake Fish Pictograph

I was able to get out on the water this weekend with my Sister on Saturday, what a beautiful day to be on the water. We kayaked from the wharf in Chase to the pictograph and cave site, I have been there quite a few times but recently read that there was a fish pictograph that I had not found during my previous visits. From the directions I had this is the only pictograph in the area where the fish was supposed to be and it does kinda look like a fish hanging from it's mouth.

Just around the corner from this there is a rock wall and you could see that the whole wall at one time was covered with paintings. As they are exposed and there was no overhang to help protect them, none are really visible anymore. You can just see paint here and there and where the rock has crumbled and fallen off.

I can hardly wait to get back out on the water again. My next planned trip is to launch at Totem Pole Resort and cross the lake to another pictograph site and boat only campground. I hope to be able to get to that within the next two weeks. I wish there was a few more hours added to each weekend day, they just seem to fly by.
