The annual fin clipping day attracted a good number of helpers once again and the job of clipping 7500 salmon smolt was completed in 1.5 hours. These fish will be released later this year and hopefully return in 2022. In addition a few returned adults were removed from the trap to more permanent housing. Many thanks to all those who attended and to Alan Brooks who gave the assembled crowd some insight into the future of hatcheries within the overall plan of salmon enhancement.
