Chum Fry Release in Byrne Creek
Byrne Creek Streamkeepers volunteers released 40,000 chum fry into the creek this morning. Thanks to the small group of masked folks who made a quick job of it.
We usually rotate releases through local schools in the watershed to get kids involved in this fun event, but due to Covid precautions we were asked to keep it to handful of society volunteers.
So it was bittersweet — so nice to see the wee fry swimming free, but sad not to be able to share with a couple of classes of awestruck, happy children.
UPDATE: Adding some GoPro underwater video. First time to use GoPro!
