On June 7, 2016 members of
the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club assisted students of the Camden
Middle School in stocking the Mad River with brook trout that the
students had raised in the school's laboratory. This program was
done in corroboration with Trout Unlimited. T.U. provided brook
trout eggs and the club provided Atlantic salmon eggs. Due to
unforseen circumstances all of the Atlantic salmon died over one
weekend.
The club provided about 500 Atlantic salmon fry to the school so that every child got a chance to stock fish. Club members also retrieved some of the residents of the stream to show students. The biggest hit was a large crayfish that fascinated almost every one. A few rocks were removed from the stream to show students the aquatic life that lives on, around and under the rocks.
