MNR needs help collecting chinook eggs on the Credit River

[John from CRAA]

MNR hatchery staff are looking for volunteers to help collect Chinook salmon eggs from the Credit River in Streetsville for the MNR hatchery. Volunteer dates are:

October 1st to 4th, 2013
October 7th to 10th, 2013
Time: 9 AM to roughly 1 PM each day.
You must be on the volunteer list to gain access to the collection site. The site is also peanut free!

If you can volunteer for one or may days please contact John Sager from MNR (info below). Let him know the date(s) you can help and names of all volunteers with you (i.e. your buddies).

Access to the collection site is on Kraft (Mondelez) property so you must pass through their security office. John will send details to volunteers.

CRAA has provided volunteers for this project since 1990 so come out and give a hand.

Chest waders (rubber or neoprene) are suggested. MNR may have extras. No breathable waders.

hey John, I should be available one of those days. One question, why no breathable waders?

I thought it had something to do with shocking
The fish. The breathable arnt insulated enough.
I could be totally wrong though

Yup it's the electricity. Breathables will allow it to pass through.

 

[John from CRAA]

Breathable waders do not stop the electrical current from the shocker so you might get some tingle where you don't want it! I'm sure MNR has extra rubber waders...check with John Sager when you contact him.

Sounds like fun, I'm good for October 3rd and 10th.

Wouldn't it be more fun just to catch them and milk them, LOL. I should be in for a bunch of those days assuming they have neoprenes or rubber waders that I can use. Will be a miserable few days without the simms
