Bowen Island is 20 square mile chunk of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3000 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.

Today a lesson from Finn in how to release juvenile coho salmon into the wild.
![]() Begin with a tank full of coho fry which have been raised at the Terminal Creek Hatchery and are ready to make their journey to the sea. ![]() Place a dozen or so in a bucket and carry them through the forest to the creek. ![]() Gently tilt your bucket into the creek so that the coho swim out into the cool water. ![]() Repeat as necessary or until the 9000 or so fry are in the creek. Reward yourself with a handful of juicy salmonberries. |
