Scotty Egg Box removal on Rennie’s River has been delayed until June 15th due to a conflict with the Earth Days events that are going on this Saturday.

Anyone that can help out on June 15th, please contact us.

To our members, partners and volunteers who gave so freely of their time last fall to do salmon egg planting in the Rennie’s River we thank you.

Now we need your help again!!

It’s that time and the eggs have finally hatched. We now need to move on to Phase 2 of the program which involves removing the boxes and recording the hatch rate of the salmon eggs.

We are scheduling Saturday June 8th starting at 9:00 AM for the box removal.

We will meet at the SAEN Office at

50 Pippy Place Unit# 8 St. John’s, NL Phone: 709-722-9300

From this site we will give instructions and have stream locations setup for each team.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

Contact either John Patey j.c.patey@vale.com OR Lyle Drake lyle950@yahoo.com to confirm your participation.

Thanks to everyone for your help and we look forward to seeing you all again.

We had an opportunity to view one of our Scotty boxes that were planted last fall and they seem to be working as the eggs are eyeing up.

Attached is a picture of one of the eggs (viewed under microscope) eyed up.

Auction Poster 2013-1

“ Keagan Hatt of St. John ’s was angling on the south branch of the Waterford River on February 18^th, 2013 and caught this beautiful Atlantic Salmon.

The fish was post spawning and appears to be in good health weighing approximately 3 ½ lbs.

Anglers are also reporting catching Tiger Trout further up the same stem. “

Q: What could be more satisfying then landing a salmon on a fly you tied yourself?
A: Landing a salmon with a rod built with your own hands!

This is a great way to pass those long winter months anxiously awaiting the next fishing season. If you are interested in participating please contact the SAEN office.                       To register call the office at 722-9300.
