Date: Sometime in October, based on Hall's Lake water temperature.
Location: Hall's Lake at Elvin Johnson Park.
With the assistance of the MNR, the volunteers from our hatchery capture a few Haliburton Gold Lake Trout, to gather and fertilize eggs.
The fish are not harmed, and we take care to return them safely to the lake.
We will hatch and raise these eggs for 18 months. At that time they will be from 3-5 inches long, and have a good chance for survival. In the wild, perhaps 10 eggs out of 1000 reach this size, due to predation and natural causes. With our help we can release 600-700 per thousand eggs.
All members of the Public are cordially invited to join us and watch, learn, or assist us. Watch for an announcement on our News and Events web page.
