Fish Hatchery

does anyone know if the fish are reaching the hatchery? I want to take my grandchild to see.

Best time to take them is Columbus day weekend.  They are usually taking eggs around that time and the kids will really like it.

The "SalmonCrazy" website reports say that the salmon has arrived but they are few and far between.

Right now there are very few fish at the hatchery. The first tank closest to the building has approx 100-120 fish mostly cohos in it. The ladder going into the hatchery has 50-80 fish mostly cohos in it. Very very few kings, this is not looking good. But time will tell.

This will be a very important topic at the meeting the Genesee Charter Boat Association will have with the DEC next week on Tuesday October 7th. If you're free come on down around 6pm and join in on the discussion.

I was at the hatchery on 9/27/14 for the open house which was pretty cool there was an ok amount of fish in the hatchery.  One thing I noticed was that the Kings here all small to the point where it was hard to differentiate between them and the Coho's if they weren't close enough to get a look at there coloring. 

Also I learned that we are going to be short on Steelhead this year because a silt ball got into the system when the eggs where incubating.

Rumour has it the MNR have stepped up and are collecting extra salmon eggs for any short falls that may occur this fall.
