Fish release 2016.

They are all gone!
60,000 juvenile salmon were released from the hatchery today. The full moon today (20th June) has given optimum conditions for the release with the Rangitata river very close to the McKinnon's creek discharge point. The fish were around 65gms. The release went well and by days end, some fish were seen entering the river proper.

Good luck and safe return!

The happy release team after a successful day.

A helping hand to push them along.
