Champlain Run Trout Club - Trout release June 9, 2012

2016/7/18 11:31:08

Few minutes ago, we had one of the most wonderful demonstrations about symbiosis ? man and nature understanding each other. More specifically, man and fish understanding each other. It is about the continuous efforts to make the population of Brown Trout in the Ottawa River grow to a sustainable number.

At 12:00pm we had a quick start of the brown trout release into the Ottawa River ? about 3,500 fishes this year. Tony Petrelli, the man behind the operation said today that the Champlain Trout Run Club working closely ?Les Pêcheurs a la Mouche de l?Outaouais? had a budget of $6,000.00 dollars for the project. Although Petrelli got may supporters and sponsors between private companies, Quebec Provincial Wildlife Ministries and governmental agencies, the Club is still in deficit and need more help. ?We are looking for sponsors and we need help to raise funds for preserving and developing habitat as well as buy quality fish stock? said Petrelli.

Petrelli, a seasoned fly fisher at heart, couldn?t contain the smile when he was releasing the little brown trout in the river. It is a love affair for the hole family since his wife Franca, his kids, nieces and friends where around to help on the release.

I?ve got excited myself and volunteered to help. It was a really pleasant experience. It got me deep that I decided that I am going myself to be a member of the Champlain Run Trout Club and volunteer my time for the cause. The membership money is going to be used to the program funds.

And, Tony Petrelli and myself are inviting all to help as you can. Please, contact Tony at: Green Drake Outfitters 89 Holland Ave. Ottawa, Ontario (613) 828 1915 1 888 828 1915 [email protected] www.greendrake.com What a great day it was!!!
