Club
members met in Taberg on April 20, 2024 to
stock Atlantic salmon obtained from the Ed Weed Fish Cultural
Station located on Grand Isle in Vermont. The club received
about
29,000 Atlantic salmon fry. Only one tank was used and the
fish
arrived with very few lost during shipment. The truck arrived
about
12:30 on a cool, very windy day.
About 20 people helped out with
the stocking. Ten different sites were stocked. Two
sites
were in the East Branch, one site was in the West Branch and the rest
of the sites were in tributaries of Fish Creek. The
water
was about 38 degrees and still high from
the recent rains so wading was not easy and was kept to a minimum.
The water flow in the East Branch of Fish Creek was 1050 cu
ft/sec. Water flow in the West Branch of Fish Creek was 590
cu
ft/sec. Scattered showers were forcast and we only
experienced a
few light sprinkles.
Many thanks to the volunteers who braved the elements to stock Atlantic
salmon. The club could not do this work without the
state's
permission and the property owners giving permission to the club to
stock fish in the watershed. Thanks also to the people coming
together to help stock fish. |
About20 people
helped stock about
29,000 fry in 10 different sites.
