On Monday, January 30th, the Suquamish Tribe’s Fisheries truck brought 35,000 Chum salmon fry to the Imprint Pond at Carkeek Park. Fish are being fed 3 times a day, 7 days a week. While the fish are here, they eventually become imprinted with the mineral and chemical smell/memory of the park’s Piper’s Creek Watershed. This process insures that they have the best chance of returning to their new home waters in 3-5 years as spawning adults.

Because of a job well done last year by a group of 14 middle and high school summer day campers, a possible disaster was narrowly averted this week.

Every Spring CWCAP receives salmon eggs and salmon fry from the Suquamish Tribe’s Grovers Creek Salmon Hatchery.
