Spruce City Wildlife Association needs volunteers

PRINCE GEORGE – It looks like a collection of Christmas lights at that festive time of year. Large bins that hold nets one-feet in length. There are dozen such bins, each with their own net. And the Spruce City Wildlife Association is looking for some volunteer help to patch them up for this year’s collection of broodstock.

“Throughout the seasons, as we use them, they’ll get hooked on some debris or some logs or sticks or that sort of thing. And even the larger fish will crash into our net and tear holes in them,” explains Dustin Snyder with the Spruce City Wildlife Association. “And what we need to do is make sure that those holes are all mended before we go out for this season in about a month.”

The nets will be dropped in various regional rivers, such as the Nechako River to the Cheslatta River.

The broodstock will be used to produce fry that will be released into their source river. The nets will be patched up at the Spruce City Wildlife Association’s hatchery on River Road on the evening of July 9th at 6:30. To sign up on their website or their Facebook page.
