Hi, my name is Evan Schneider and I will be introducing you to my Troop.
This is Boy Scout Troop 316. Last year the troop and their families (including me) drove to a fish hatchery in Madera County. The hatchery’s job was to make sure their was enough fish in the public ponds and rivers.
We got a tour of their work and this is what we saw. To start we were allowed to feed the fish. It was a feeding frenzy!
We discussed relieving them of a couple fish. Although we didn’t reach a conclusion.
When their was a need for more fish a tube was brought to suck up some fish. The fish ended up in the top container.
Afterwards the container would blow the fish through another tube and into a truck.
Then a worker will drive to a river or pond and deposit more fish.
We followed the worker and helped him unload. After our tour we fished for several hours with no success.
I hope you have enjoyed the recount of our Tour of the Fish Hatchery.
Evan Schneider
P.S. We didn’t eat any fish that day.
