Still looking for help & will do a post when all the schools are set up, Komoka, London & Chesley are definately new for me with another new one in Sarnia & 2 different ones in Owen Sound, still working on 2 in Milton, 1 in Collingwood & another 1 in Guelph.

All the school's have been set up & eggs have been delivered, I was emailed tonight saying 1 of the school's have started to hatch, we have expanded to 21 school's & we are still looking for Members that would like to help out with 1 or more of the school's, they are spread out from Southampton to Goderich & Waterloo to Guelph, I was asked by a few Teachers if they could have a presentation put on this year as not everybody had one last year, so I'll be starting with my presentations early to try to get out to as many as possible.

Sorting Days are today from 9 am to 12 noon. And Monday through Thursday from 9 am until noon next week as well or until we finish.

It is a great way to meet fellow club members and show your support to the fishery. Matt Luckhart is spearheading this campaign so if you have any questions please send him an email at [email protected] Otherwise just show up at the hatchery in Kincardine and ask for Matt any day you can help. Evening hours could be arranged if a few volunteers wanted to set up a work crew, Thanx & Tight Lines SBK http://lhfcschoolhatcheries.blogspot.ca/2014/02/kincardine-hatchery-rainbow-trout-2nd.html

Good Morning Everyone, The Rainbow sorting and fin clipping has started and we are looking for volunteers to help us out at the Kincardine Hatchery. I personally sorted rainbows last year for the first time with my teenaged daughter and it was a blast. I have never fin clipped and my work schedule will not allow me to try this year. My point is this – if you have never done it before, have no fear, it is something that is taught in seconds and by the mornings end you will be an expert. The more helpers the merrier! Sorting Days are today from 9 am to 12 noon. And Monday through Thursday from 9 am until noon next week as well or until we finish. Fin Clipping starts next Saturday, February 8th, at 9 am until noon and will continue until completed. If you can help, please come out. It is a great way to meet fellow club members and show your support to the fishery. Matt Luckhart is spearheading this campaign so if you have any questions please send him an email at [email protected] Otherwise just show up at the hatchery in Kincardine and ask for Matt any day you can help. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Mike Hahn Vice-President Lake Huron Fishing Club

Moe Whytock & I headed up to Port Elgin to meet Garry at the Hatchery & pick up the Salmon to deliver to Peninsula Shores District School in Wiarton, I met my father & invited him a long to the school as he lives in Wiarton now & could help with delivering food or equipment if needed, Richard Gawel a member of the BPSA & LHFC has worked to get an Aquarium in the Wiarton School, we were welcomed with a wolf cheer after introductions & 2 of the Students dumped the Salmon into the Classes Hatchery. http://lhfcschoolhatcheries.blogspot.ca/2014/01/peninsula-shores-district-school-wiarton.html Then it was off to Walkerton District Community School to set up our last school of the year, there are 3 classes helping to take care of the Salmon & have decided to set it up in the Library for all to enjoy, one of the Students from each of the Classes helped dump the Salmon into the Hatchery. http://lhfcschoolhatcheries.blogspot.ca/2014/01/walkerton-district-community-school.html Hope you enjoyed the little video Tight Lines Richard

We headed to Port Elgin to get the Eggs & start delivering them today I headed to Walkerton Sacred Heart High School, Mildmay Sacred Heart Junior School, Teeswater Hillcrest & Sacred Heart School & Wingham F.E. Madill High School, about a week ago the Hatchery Equipment was set up at the School & the students were very happy to finally see the Egg arrive, they will be at the School until late April or early May. Mike set up Brookside & Goderich Schools Grade 8, Bob set up North Port & Al took care of Kincardine Tiverton Township & Huron Heights, now all we have to do is wait for the rest of the Equipment to arrive, 8 more Chillers on the way from the USA, hopefully they get here before the Eggs hatch.

We were out fishing Oct 15-13 from Baie Du Dore & saw 1 boat fishing Bruce A as we headed out to fish & no-one else was around, it was the best day we had on the Lake this year & my 1st Salmon of the year, we waited around long enough to let the fish get Measured, Weighed & scales taken after we loaded the Boat. Tight Lines SBK http://lhfcschoolhatcheries.blogspot.ca/2013/11/bruce-power-sampling-salmon-trout-at.html

We started Fishing about 14:00 & ended back at Baie Du Dore at 18:30, started out in 70' out from Douglas Point trolling southwest to 120' in front of Bruce B then back towards Inverhuron & 85' of water, we were still north of the Bay when we headed back north across Bruce B towards Douglas Point around 90' of water everything came down 50' or 62' with 1 off the cheater, NK 28 was the lure of choose with a bit of green &/or yellow, 1 Laker, 2 Rainbows, 2 Cohos & 3 Chinook & of course we lost a few & had a couple knock off's. Hopefully I can make it back out again but off to the Moon River Basin fore a 3 day weekend 1st. Tight Lines SBK

Another year is coming to an end our 1st 2 Schools have released their/our Salmon & had a Trout Hatchery tour as well as a Kincardine Light House Tour that our Hatchery Manager set up for after they were done with the Salmon Release & Trout Hatchery Tour, Rotary Park had the Washrooms open & Picnic tables out for the Students to use for their Lunch Break also, it was a little bit wet out but it really didn't matter to anyone as that can be a big part of Fishing. 8 more Schools to go & then the Clean up of all the Equipment starts, Time to go fishing soon lol.
