Steelhead Fin Clipping Video
Watch members of Lake Huron Fishing Club and Ontario Steelheaders work hard to clip the adipose fin on the Hatchery-raised steelhead trout which will be used for research to identify the released trout after they’ve been released in the Saugeen River later this spring.
Fin Clipping
A big thank you to all 22 volunteers, who made the trip to the LHFC hatchery in Kincardine on March 4th and 5th for fin clipping. A total of 38,000 fingerlings were clipped over the weekend. The additional 18,000 remaining will be clipped over the next few days.
LHFC and The Ontario Steelheaders will release the fingerlings into the upper Saugeen in May. We will need more to volunteer at this time.
Why do we clip the adipose fin?
The clipped fin serves as an identifier for fishermen in that the fish has been reared in the hatchery. Those fish caught with an adipose fin are of natural origin.

Great read.
We teamed up with retired WDFW scientist Dick Burge to examine how handling practices can impact mortality levels and the potential changes in fish that damage eggs and fry development. Check it out! #wildsteelhead

Another must view. There’s never any place for oversized dams…Matter of fact there is never any place for any dam.
Greetings SRC fb followers! Ryan Peterson writing here. It is with great pride and excitement that we are today sharing “The Super Salmon” with the world – a little movie about the Su and the spotlight it’s been in these last few years. From the first screening in Talkeetna a year ago, to the dozens more that have followed across Alaska, the Lower 48, Canada, and even Europe, it has been a joy to see thousands of people so readily relate not only to our river in all its glory, but to the incredible and effective work the SRC does on behalf of present and future generations. It has been a great honor to be entrusted to tell your story, and if I have learned anything in getting to know so many of you so intimately, and seeing the fruits of your work and convictions pay off in so many ways, it is that, if you want to change the world, grassroots movements are kinda the only things that do it. And that is more true today than ever. I hope you enjoy The Super Salmon. If you enjoy this film and are inspired to do more, please DONATE. Your donations go directly to SRC programs that work toward long-term protections to ensure a wild and free Susitna River long into the future. http://ift.tt/2htC0WA
