From Seymour Salmonid Society:

Hi Everyone,

We will heading up to the Indian River this thursday for our first pink salmon egg take. Looking for 4 volunteers to help out (Limited due the space for traveling in. There might be more room in other trucks or boat heading in, but I waiting to confirm more info in this regards). We will be meeting at the Rice Lake Gate for 6:45am, leaving no later than 7:00am. We should be back by 5:00pm at the Rice Lake Gate.

You will need waders, rain gear, change of clothes and a lunch.

Let me know if you are interested. At the moment, I only have room for 4 people, so first come basis, but I'm expected more space will be available in other trucks or boats heading in?

If you haven't done this will us before, it's quite the spectular trip and well worth you while to participate in. We will also be heading back into the Indian for Chum salmon egg take in November, so there will be another opportunity if you are unable to attend this trip.

We plan to take approx. 200,000 eggs this trip. We will also be taking 1.8 million from the Chilliwack River this year starting in mid October. Needless to say, there will we lot's of opportunities to participate in Chilliwack pink egg takes for volunteers. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,

James Weger
