Powell River Salmon Society starts coho clipping campaign

Goal is to clip 300,000 adipose fins this month

Powell River Salmon Society's coho clipping campaign began on Monday, April 14. Volunteers and community members are attempting to clip the adipose fins of approximately 300,000 fry coho salmon this month.

Training prior to clipping is taking place at the hatchery, located at the former Catalyst Paper Tis’kwat site. Anglers are allowed to retain hatchery coho salmon with the adipose fin clipped.
