After reaching our quota for chum salmon eggs which are now incubating at Hoy Creek Hatchery, the volunteer team has switched to coho broodstock collection.

On Saturday, Nov. 7 the crew headed up to seine the fish trap pool which is located below the fire hall. On the way up they performed a trail clean.

Eight coho were transported back to the hatchery and placed in the Capilano trough where they will ripen for egg take.

Four of the catch were unmarked males and the other four were hatchery marked females.

NOTE: With current BC Health orders in place, hatchery management has suspended all group activity at this time.
