Credit River Steelhead Lifts

[aniceguy]

Its that time of year we will be beginning to start the lifts on the Credit in the next week or so...time to roll up the sleeves and put something back....

 

Great opportunity to see lots of steelhead, help with a major conservation project

 

the craa message board will give the specifics www.craa.on.ca

Lifts will be every night at 5 pm. However we will not lift in heavy rain and cold weather (below 7 C). The reason is fish will not come into the fish ladder. They will only come in when the water temp exceeds 6C in big numbers. Today we only had 3.5-4 C so only 6 fish. Sunny warm days are prime. If we have a warm, sunny day (as forecast for most of next week) we could be lifting over 100 fish a night. Or breaking last years record of 370 fish in one night. Then we will need tons of help!!!!

 

 

We will be lifting steelhead Saturday and Sunday

Irishfield,

 

Why are you trolling with the eye of your rod?

 

Are you hoping to catch some round eye goby's?
