Brook Trout Release

Friday, 13 May 2016 15:28

Brook Trout will be plentiful in the Upper Thames Conservation Authority this year.

The Upper Thames Conservation Authority will be releasing 7,500 Brook Trout into streams and rivers this Saturday.

The Conservation Authority with the help of the Thames River Anglers Association collect Brook Trout eggs each fall. According to Steve Sauder, marketing specialist with the conservation authority, says the anglers association raise the fish until they are ready to be released.

"What they do is they take care of the fish right from the egg to the fingerling stage where we are letting them go on Saturday. It's huge commitment, there's a daily commitment to ensuring the temperatures are right, that they are getting their proper feed and they are growing properly."

Sauder says this is just some of the work they are doing for the rivers and streams this Spring.

"We're narrowing some streams, we're getting cobble back in place where they need some rock features, making pools and just helping the natural way a stream builds itself over time."

The fish will be released in areas that have recently been reconstructed in order to better accommodate cold water fish. These areas are located around St Mary's, Embro, Stratford and London.
