Wilfred Hatchery
Wilford Creek produces wild Coho, Chum and pink salmon and is the sight of our first Hatchery
From 1990 to today, our Wilfred Creek Hatchery has grown from a simple upwelling box to a complete project
The Hatchery is a simple frame Building located on Mosaic Forest Management Corporation proper with their support
Both coho and chum wild fish are captured on the creek and their eggs raised to supplement the natural population as a part of the conservation hatchery strategy
FBSES volunteers perform all the usual egg take operations and fish raising activities in these remote settings

When fry are ready, they emerge from raising tanks to Capilano troughs to finish their growth
Ours volunteers are known as the “Wilfred creek boys” and they use their skills in all parts of hatchery operations

A hatchery is a year round commitment by volunteers who overcome challenges of remoteness, lack of power, the weather to ensure the survival of a wild creek and its salmon inhabitants.
