As salmon begin to stage for the autumn runs on the Great Lakes tributaries, see what scientists are saying about the social behavoirs of salmon. http://ift.tt/2adlffD
Scientists investigate social patterns of salmon
Each summer, millions of fish return to Bristol Bay, and then swim on to the stream where they were born to spawn, and die. Exactly what compels them to return to the right spot is unknown. But scientists think that some hatchery-raised steelhead in Oregon might hold a clue.

A Call For Directors
Recently our News & Media Director resigned his position, which has left us in need to fill this position as soon as possible. This position requires the ideal candidate to act as the principal person responsible for Newsletters, Website Updates, Press Releases, etc.
Additionally our Derby and Social Events Director will be retiring his position at the end of his term, which would coincide with this years’ fall derby. This position would involve being responsible for organizing, promoting and hosting club derbies.
If anyone is interested in either of these positions, please contact Karl Redin Using the contact form
Saugeen River Steelhead Spring Release
Al Wilkens wanted to say a few words to the Ontario Steelheaders:
As Manager of the Lake Huron Fishing Club’s Kincardine Trout Hatchery I want to express my sincere appreciation to all the Ontario Steelheaders who gave up a major portion of “opening day” weekend to move the rainbows out of the Kincardine and Port Elgin fish hatcheries. Your enthusiasm and professionalism ensured that all of our releases went smoothly and all fish were delivered to their new homes safely and in good health. Without the help of the Ontario Steelheaders we would be taking a week or more to release all our fish rather than the day and 1/2 that it took this year. I don’t have the final numbers from Port Elgin yet but from Kincardine you helped move 18 loads of fish that totaled 56,324 fish weighing a total of 4,761 pounds. Not bad for a day’s work! Thanks!

Spring Saugeen Steelhead Transfer Complete
The Ontario Steelheads in cooperation with Lake Huron Fishing Club has completed a another mobile transfer of adult steelhead trout up river. The transfer is conducted with custom aquariums on wheels and travel over 50 miles upriver, aiding the steelhead (rainbow trout) overcome many of the obstacles such as the 20+ dams on the Saugeen River. The fish were really moving over the past week, one thousand adults steelhead rainbow trout averaging 10-15lbs each were lifted at Denny’s Dam and transported in 3.5 days!
The Saugeen River Steelhead transfer program has come to a close and we will not be transferring fish. It is undetermined if the program will be re-implemented in the future. The hard work and resources poured into this program by the hard working volunteers of the LHFC and Ontario Steelheaders is remarkable to say the least. Thank you to everyone involved.
