Volunteers Wanted Oct 27 Coho Egg Collection

[Jeremy Ray Green]

Hey Nice Pic Of Michael, and a Long time MEA volunteer Ettore.
One thing about Ettore, He Does not even fish, he just does not care for it, he just wants to help....

A very nice gentleman that is always willing to give a helping hand...

So If you guys ever wanted to know how high a rainbow trout could jump.....

The "PEN" of water on the top side of the fish ladder had only coho salmon init the day before, as they were stored just for our group to extract eggs from, over night a small rainbow trout about 2 pounds made the jump over that "FENCE" and was in with the coho salmon that were stored...
True story...

We also managed to electroshock a breeding pair of atlantic salmon, we first caught the male, and the MNR, suggested we werent allowed to stop electro shocking until we found the female, as these salmon are almost presumed to mate for life...

we found both the male and female and tagged them and sent them upstream to better spawning areas.
