Lack of volunteers could mean end of Kincardine Trout Hatchery and the Chantry Chinook Classic Fishing Derby
Copied from: http://www.kincardinerecord.com/story.php?id=3621
The Lake Huron Fishing Club is in desperate need of volunteers. Otherwise, the club will have to close the Rainbow/Brown Trout Hatchery in Kincardine, and will no longer be able to run the Chantry Chinook Classic Salmon Derby in the summer.
Dick Verrips of the fishing club, said that president Phil Hahn has appealed to the membership to assist, noting the urgency and critical need for volunteers, with very little response, to date.
"Without members taking on additional volunteer hours, the hatchery will close, and the Chantry Classic Salmon Derby will cease to exist in the near future," said Verrips. "It will be a sad day to see our sports fishery end in this way."
The hatchery in Kincardine produces rainbow and brown trout for stocking Lake Huron. To date, it has stocked 468,517 trout yearlings, said Verrips. It will stock 60,000 rainbow and 60,000 brown trout yearlings in 2017. The hatchery operates on an average yearly cost of $37,500, money obtained through various grants and fund-raising.
"Al Wilkins, our current Kincardine hatchery manager, is resigning, effective April 10," Verrips said. "Although a number of the manager duties have been assigned to other volunteers, there still remains a critical need for additional volunteers."
Volunteers are needed for the following positions:
Hatchery Co-ordinator: responsible for co-ordinating duties of all hatchery volunteers, liaising with the Lake Huron Fishing Club and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, and monitoring all operations related to fish culture. The co-ordinator will be the contact person for all hatchery inquiries. In order to ensure a smooth transition, the current hatchery co-ordinator will work with the new co-ordinator for up to a year.
Maintenance Handyman: responsible for the overall monitoring and maintenance of equipment.
If interested, contact Wilkins at 519-396-9764 or fisheye@bmts.com
The Lake Huron Fishing Club not only operates the trout hatchery in Kincardine and the salmon hatchery in Port Elgin (which has a good contingent of volunteers), it also does the following:
• Provides stream enhancements and environmental improvements
• Assists government agencies on assessments
• Initiates projects at schools
• Hosts the annual Chantry Chinook Classic Salmon Derby
The work of the club relies on thousands of volunteer hours by club members. From time to time, the club will be posting current club activities and programs, and asking interested Facebook members to JOIN US, or VOLUNTEER for a number of specific tasks.
For information on volunteering at the Chantry Chinook Classic Salmon Derby, contact Bert Kuntz at bkuntz@bmts.com or call 519-389-4203 (home) or 519-502-4043 (cell).

Great afternoon to be on the Lake for some Smallies
A very peaceful afternoon on the water with only the Smallies & a bunch of different birds landing and taking off like they were playing a game. Started out with Tube jigs but switched over to Dropshotting X-Zone Slammers & Bassmagnet Twitch baits, started with a very light breeze with the water temp at 38.5f, I was casting and reeling very slowly and picked up a couple of smallies and then switched over to dragging the drop shot about .5 to 1 mph and getting a bunch more, had a few grab the Twitch but missed the hook and bit the tail off, all and all it was a great day maybe the last Bass day this year, see what the weather on Wednesday looks like.
Just after the sun set.

Lonely again with lots of Smallies from Bruce County
Had a plan but desided to change it when I got to the lake what a mistake, started at a different spot than I was going too & caught a couple quickly and hit another 2 spots catching 1 smallie on each spot then I moved to where I was going to start and caught a couple of 19" smallies moved again and nothing for the next hour or so back to where I caught the 19"ers and they were homemostly #BassmagnetTubes were used with a few caught on Dropshotting #SetTheHook Nailers, all the Smallies were caught on #ArdentReels, Ardent Edge & Denny Brauer Spinning Rods with Ardent Wire & C-Force Spinning reels & Gliss Line 18lb test. #RuleTheWater, #Blackflylures.
Some of these Smallies were caught dropping down to them when they were marked on the Fish Finder in 7.5 to 8.5' of water that was crazy, how shallow do you guys catch them under the boat. #Simonfrosticeman, thanx for the tip.

Yesterday at Silver Lake
Found a Largemouth by a bunch of sticks dropshotting a #Slammer & thought this might be good but there were no more that I could get of any sticks lol, water was 47.5 to 50 degrees, switch to some deeper stuff & was marking lots but light hitters or no takers, last spot I was dropshotting a Bassmagnets Twich 3.75" where I picked up the crappie on a spot about 18.5' to 20' with 25' very close all around it that drops to 40' fairly quickly, pretty sure I'll be back to hammer some of these guys soon. I'm hoping it'll be a ggood spot in the spring before they move to shore too. My Ardent DB Edge Rods with Ardent Wire, C-Force and Bolt Spinning Reels worked great, #ardentreels, #rulethewater, #Blackflylures,
