Ringwood Hatchery and Rainbow Fish Lift-- pics

[spoonman]

I went to the Ringwood hatchery today, too help out the Metro East Anglers with some fish cleaning and feeding. We ended up visiting the Milne Fish Way Lift to do some rainbow lifting. It was a beautiful day for it and I learned a lot and had the chance to do some hands on helping. I would personally like to thank Andy Rubasek, Bruce Burt, Glenn Anderson and Melanie Tepp, for sharing some of there great knowledge.

It was a lot of fun and I look forward to helping again in the near future.

 

Some pictures from today.

The club is dedicated to the improvement and conservation of our fisheries and environment throughout Ontario. The MEA encourages you to get involved and help us make the outdoors a little better for everyone.

They are going to need a lot of help in the next few weeks if anyone can volunteer some time, it would be greatly appreciated.
