Autumn 2015: Time to catch some Salmon for our quota of eggs for the 2016 season.
The Hyde Creek Watershed Society is located in Port Coquitlam, B.C. This volunteer organization operates a small Salmon Hatchery and provides Educational Programs for local schools as well as an annual Salmon Festival. With few exceptions, the images appearing in this blog are mine as is the blog.
Summer 2015
The early arrival of Summer began near the end of May and what a hot summer it has been so far. Our creek dried up almost a month early and now we rely on our well to supply water to our remaining Coho in the pond. Summer is usually a quiet time at the hatchery but as you will see below, we were just as busy as ever.
