Very Successful Hatchery Clean Up April 18, 2010

BBQ'd salmon enjoyed by all! Thanks to Jim and Willa for a fabulous lunch.

We estimate mortality at about 20% this year which means we only released approximately 800,000 fry into the Tsolum River.

Rotary Scew Trap in full Operation!

Pink and chum salmon had a very poor showing this year due to the late fall and winter rain events that loosed substrates and killed the eggs and alevins.

Coho are showing very well this year!

This project will wind up in the next couple of weeks.

If you would like to participate please call Jack at 250 897-4670

 TRRS Strategic Planning Session April 10, 2010 Highly Successful!

A strategic planning document will be formulated from the incredible work accommplished on Saturday. Once completed it will be posted here - Stay Tuned!

Another 800,000 pink salmon fry released into the Tsolum River from the Headquarters Creek Facility April 12, 2010!

Again, our volunteers have succesfully fish sat all winter and the fry have been released.

Latest Data From Spectacle Lake Wetland has shown higher levels leaving than levels entering. This is not indicitive of poor performance but of lag time due to lower flows moving through very slowly. The higher levels from an earlier reading take so long to move through the wetland they are leaving at a time when lower levels have been recorded entering.

Geomembrane Cover Completed!

Till cover to be completed by the beginnng of August 2010
