Fin Clipping 2023.

We have had 2 fin clipping days so far this year and have clipped around 53,000 out of our estimated 90,000 rising 1 year old fish. Both days have attracted nearly 40 helpers and despite some inclement weather on the first day, all went well. The fish were released into ponds where they could move into McKinnons at their will. They hung around for a while but had mostly all moved out within a week. Fin clipping of juvenile fish is a recognized way of identifying hatchery reared fish.
