Coquitlam River Coho Smolt Release - Bring the kids!!
« on: May 13, 2015, 10:20:43 AM »

Good morning all!

Last week the Grist Goeson memorial hatchery in Coquitlam released a healthy batch of coho smolts into the Coquitlam river with the help of kids and adults in our community(<5,000 smolts). Today we are going to be releasing ~3,500 more into the river and invite you to bring your kids down to help release the them on their journey.

Grab a bucket, get some fish and walk them down to the river and release them. Very small informal event last about 15-20 minutes. We will start releasing between 5:45pm and 6pm tonight.

Please join us today at the trail by Gabriola and Dunkirk in Coquitlam if you are interested.

If you have any question, please let me know.

Thanks to those of you who came out! The kids who came had a blast releasing the fish.

We should be releasing up to 20,000 more before the end of June, depending on their size..

I will keep you guys updated.
