The creek is full of spawning salmon and it is time to take the first salmon for the Salmonids in the Classroom program for the local schools.   We had plenty of help in the creek this morning.

OPEN HOUSE & FISH RELEASE - May 15, 2011

  

Our Annual Open House & Fish Release was held on Sunday, May 15 and was another success as we welcomed hundreds of visitors to our Education Centre & Hatchery.  Children released fingerling salmon into Hyde Creek and everyone left well fed.  We raised more funds for the daily operation of our facility.  Thanks to the members who volunteered for yet another successful event.

COHO COMING BACK

For the first time in the nine years that I have volunteered at the little fish hatchery on Hyde Creek, the Coho salmon have come back to spawn in very big numbers.  It is wonderful to see so many of the fish that we have tried to bring back to the creek coming home to fill the creek.

Years of work have finally paid off for us - and for the Coho.
