School Hatchery Update Dec 30/10

After watching this I have no Idea how any fish would survive to be an Adult, this is well over 3 weeks ago they were all hatched and they are barely moving still, the current would push them down stream to be a very easy meal for something

They look dead!

[cwpowell]

what are they salmon? rainbow trout?

[spinnerbaitking]

Chinook, I guess until they absorb the rest of the egg & heal the opening in their stomach they don't move much at all, this is a 1st for me so I'm just going by what the Hatchery staff tells me is normal, they should be swimming up over the next week or so & then they start eating

Very cool. Do you need a license to stock them? Will you be putting them in a river or lake?

[Rod Caster]

There must be billions of them during natural spawn. All the predators would be full within a few days I bet.

We have a permit with the MNR threw the Lake Huron Fishing Club & I think they are going into the Sauble or Saugeen River about mid April I believe
