Great work Chris, George and Grizz. Those are really fresh chum and it's good to know they will now have a chance to survive and spawn.
Also that area you were in is where we took out quite a bit of garbage on our last river cleanup ! Just shows how important it is to contunually remove this garbage so that when the inevitable high water comes, it does't wash back into the main river system. All  of the 2.8 tonnes of garbage we removed on Rivers Day is in the land fill and not in the river system, thanks to all the 225 plus volunteers who came out and helped on Sept 24.  ;D

Yes that is how I discovered the stranded chum. Moved one by hand before we found the pod. Moved one at dark also that was caught up in some long grass.

Way to go Chris et al.
It was actually quite a bit of footage considering it was about saving Chum. Imagine if they were pike minnows, would have been a mini series. I saw the cows get away safe too, which was good, cause if it were Alberta?

another SLICE of dirty fish perhaps?

Saw a brief shot of John on CBC last night going away from their house, it will have some damage I would think, unfortunately. :( Saw the house in person and on TV a few times ground and aerial footage.

Great job guys I was on the phone with the wife when it came on the news and she said "hey there is that guy with the leafs hat that you guys always talk about." I asked her what is chris doing for the river this time are they filming him rescuing floats  ;D  and she said no chris and a couple other guys are helping out some fish get back to the river. She was impressed as we always are about how much work you do for the river. Once again great job.
