Every spring, during egg collection, the LHFC and Ontario Steelheaders collect about twenty (20) adult trout and send the sample fish to University of Guelph for testing. During this period, the laboratory tests for a variety of fish related diseases know to rainbow trout and steelhead. At this time, results have been received for the steelhead trout collected in spring of 2014 and we are happy to report “NO DISEASES PRESENTED” in our sample fish!
Great news!
