Out-Migration Results!
4,200,000 Pink fry were calculated during our Spring 2016 Out Migration!
Our Rotary Screw Trap (RST) in the Tsolum River caught 63,000 Pink fry, this accounts for 1.5% of the fish swimming through the sample location. So the total out migration is 63,000/1.5% = 4,200,000 Pink fry!

2015 Pink Salmon Run
2015 was an amazing year, the Tsolum River had an amazing Pink Salmon run this Fall. Our dedicated volunteers counted 125,000 fish! Not only are these record breaking numbers, the returning fish are wild (not from our hatchery)! We are poised and ready to do our 2016 fall fish count, as soon as the fish appear in the river.
