Uvic salmon diet project

This is a great program for everyone to get involved in. Rodgers Fishing Lodge will be involved in this program off the westcoast of Vancouver Island. Give Will a call and get involved.

The UVic Fisheries Ecology and Marine Conservation Group recreational angler salmon diet project.

1. We are putting out a plea to collect samples from all the winter Chinook that you can. With slower fishing in some areas we are concerned about getting enough samples this winter. We are ready to run a comprehensive program in 2018 and we need these samples! So tight lines! (obviously we want summer samples too but this is less of a challenge).
2. If anyone did not get our 2017 data summary, does not have sampling instructions, or requires data cards sent to them, please email us.
3. Remember, thanks to the generosity of Islander every sample with complete data serves as an entry in a draw for an MR2 mooching reel.
4. We will be presenting a poster with some preliminary results at a number of conferences this spring, we will distribute this to the list shortly. 

Thanks to Islander and DFO for direct support for the project and to the tackle stores and angler groups who are helping us out.

All the best

Will
