Title: Do You Think We Should Have Sturgeon Hatcheries???
Post by: steelhead nick on October 28, 2007, 05:47:53 PM
My buddies and I were heading up to a river and i thought to myself we should have a sturgeon hatchery. I told my friends and they agreed. Since the depleting numbers of river sturgeon in B.C., i think people should create sturgeon hatcheries to bring back the abundant numbers.

I believe Inch Creek already has been raising sturgeon... Anyone who visits there can see the brood fish they have in storage in the pond.. That and all the nice cutts/rainbows that hang around in there too :)

Cheers,

Those are the sturgeon snacks.  They have been known to surprise them and suck them up.

The hatchery is located off Bell Irving Road I believe.  Just look for the large blue signs near the Nicomen Slough.
