WHAT A DAY!! Every Lake Ontario fisherman should spend a day at Ringwood. It was an absolutely invigorating experience to be part of the life cycle of these fish.
But be careful, this experience is only for the heart healthy since your heart and blood will be pounding all day from the excitement and passion in the room. Thanks Jerry. And thanks to the Ringwood group for letting us be part of the process. And thanks to Jeremy for a job well done on the BBQ. Look out Kipper!

For anyone who has not made the trip you have missed a great part of the fishing experience. The tour of the hatchery and the BBQ they put on for us was great. Thanks to Jerry for organizing the trip and I know that any Chinook I catch could be one that I clipped.
