Red-Eared Slider Turtle Caught at Shannon Lake

This Red-Eared Slider was spotted at Shannon Lake Regional Park, West Kelowna on May 26^th, 2018 by Brendan Schlamp while volunteering with the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association at the Go Fish Program. He shared his pictures with me a week later on June 2^nd. Later that afternoon I managed to locate and catch what appears to be the same turtle. It was a large adult female with a shell length of 26 cm and weighed 2.6 kg.

Thanks to Brendan for sharing his pictures!
