Yesterday's run to the LHFC Salmon Hatchery, Collingwood and Guelph Schools

Mountain View Elementary and Jean Vanier Catholic High School in Collingwood had their Salmon Egg/Alevin delivered yesterday, I had a bit of a delay because of a Chillers blown fuse so it was off to the auto supply store to get replacements

Guelph Resurrection Christian Academy 

This is what happens when you have to stay late to help with the Salmon arrival. Max gets to dump them into the Aquarium.

Lake Huron Fishing Club Port Elgin Chinook Salmon Hatchery

The LHFC volunteers took 8 days over 2 weeks to get the 100,000 plus salmon eggs from the Sydenham River in Owen Sound the 1st trays you see are from the 1st batch of Salmon netted and are now at the alevin stage and the last one is from the last Salmon netted and placed in the Hatchery and are now at the alevin stage, there is a bit of a difference. They will all be hatched over the next couple of days.

Another day of delivering eggs is over

LHFC Port Elgin Salmon Hatchery 1st 2 trays are from the 1st week of egg collection & the next 2 are from the 2nd week, that is a big difference. About 4,000 in each.

Starting in Chesley before the students were there.

Hanover Heights were very excited when I arrived with their baby's.

Mildmay Sacred Heart with one of the older egg trays.

Northwoods Elementary in Ethel with the new Aquarium as theirs was cracked & removed yesterday, some of the eggs were hatching as I was still there.

Off to Milton Craig Kielburger Secondary School more were hatching

E.C. Drury School for the Deaf was the last stop & we had to melt the ice as I was tired the day we set it up & when they added the water it was sweating quite a bit, likely because it was set for -10 and froze the coil pretty solid opps. We melted the ice off and reset everything back up, hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Thanx and Tight Lines Richard
