Stocking 2022 |
Club
members met in Taberg on April 23, 2022 to
stock Atlantic salmon obtained from the Ed Weed Fish Cultural
Station located on Grand Isle in Vermont. The truck arrived
at
noon and some 31 people showed up to stock 48,000 Atlantic salmon
fry. It was a cool cloudy day with threatening rain but
luckily
the rain held off until the stocking was done. Water was high
and
dangerous due to a recent snow melt. Some of the stocking
sites
were in deep gullies which made access to the river difficult. Many thanks to the volunteers who braved the elements to stock Atlantic salmon. The club could not do this work without your support. |
