Spey Nation Seminar

A big THANK YOU goes to Spey Nation for contributing the profits of their raffle to the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club. Spey Nation held their second stream side seminar on the Salmon River at the Pineville bridge parking area on Saturday, June 20. The forecast called for scattered thunderstorms but luckily all we got were a few sprinkles. The club set up its booth and handed out brochures. Five new members signed up.

Upcoming Event

The club will be receiving 30,000 fry from the Grand Isle Hatchery and they will be stocked Thursday in the afternoon on July 2, 2009. Arlie and Tom will drive to Vermont on July 1 because of the holiday with the truck and two tanks for the fish.
Gene Carey will be a contact person if you are interested in helping out with the stocking.
Call Gene at 315 699-3392 (cell 315 243-8109) on Thursday morning, July 2, for the latest update on when to meet the truck. It will most likely be in the afternoon.
The meeting place will be at the hotel in West Leyden. West Leyden is 12 miles north of Rome on State Route 26.
Bring your own cooler or a clean 5 gallon bucket (with a lid if you have one) , a small dip net and a stream thermometer if you have them.
Gary Bartell will be supervising the stocking. His cell phone is 338-3426.
The website will be updated as soon as we have more information.
Just In - as of Thursday, 8:00 AM, Tom and Arlie have loaded the fish into the tanks. They anticipate a 4 1/2 or 5 hour transit to West Leyden. Estimated time of arrival is a little after 12:00 PM.

In the Meantime

A sample of our fish have been sent to the lab for testing. Stocking will occur probably on July11. Stay tuned for details.

Objective of the Club

The Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club, inc was formed in 1997 for the purposes of:

Restoring/re-introducing native Atlantic salmon and Brook Trout to Fish Creek and the Oswego River system as self sustaining species.
Cooperate with federal, state and local agencies to maintain and restore habitat critical to fish restoration including water quality, substrate quality, riparian condition, and adequate fish passage throughout the system.
Collaborate with other groups, organizations, watershed stake-holders in order to exchange information and minimize duplication of effort.

The objective of the club is to develop a coordinated, informed and supportable restoration effort for Atlantic salmon in the Oswego River system, using the best available technology and science with participation by interested individuals, Native Americans, non-profit, governmental and non-governmental agencies and groups. For more information on the club contact one of the club's officers.

Membership

For those interested in joining club activities or receiving a newsletter, membership fees are $15 per year, payable to the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club inc.

To join simply fill in this membership form , print it out and mail it to the address as indicated. Thank you for your patronage. The club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Camden Rod and Gun Club (directions) on Moran Post Road. The public is invited to attend our meetings.
