Work on the Millstone River is progressing nicely, and last week we saw more fish coming down and into our traps to be counted, measures, weighed and released. I can only get out to volunteer on Sunday mornings because of school and work, but it is a great experience. I hope to get into the conservation/wildlife biology in university and this is a good introduction to the field. I love the hands on learning required in technician projects. Coming into May, Charles is expecting to see fish arriving in the hundreds, so everyone will be more busy. The fish we are most interested in are the Coho coming down the river and out to sea. These smolts have been in the river about a year now, and it is time for them to leave.
