Hey Guys

My Uncle Don Passed away on Tuesday & the Wake is at 12:30 & Funeral 1:30 on Saturday, so I'm hoping to be at the Hatchery on Sunday morning, the President of the Club Al Wilkins will be there to open up & do the Fin Clipping on Saturday & Sunday, I'll e-mail Al to let him know who is going to help.

Hmm, I know this may sound like a silly question... But why is it that you clip the fins? Is it for when you catch one you know it's a stocked trout, not a natural?

So they know it`s stocked & the year class, different fin different year

This comes from one of the guys in the Know, We clip adipose, always for Saugeen steelhead. We did vent clips early on in the program, but each year since has been adipose, and it will stay adipose clips. This is an agreement with the MNR. Year class means nothing, just the fact that they are O.S./LHFC fish is the reason they are clipped, by MNR mandate
