Family Fishing Day 2008

The Souris Branch of the PEI Wildlife Federation has been hosting an annual Family Fishing Day for the past few years at the Rollo Bay Pond. The event is free and participants do not require an angling license. Our goal is to encourage outdoor recreation and an interest in wildlife.

Rollo Bay

The Dept. of Environment, Energy, and Forestry donated 1,500 brook trout. The fish were clipped at the Dover Fish Hatchery before delivery This enables our Wildlife group to monitor catches of hatchery raised fish. Several days before the event, a representative from the Dover Fish Hatchery delivered the fish to the Rollo Bay Pond. Fish requires time to become acclimated to new surroundings.

Each year preparation includes grass cutting, tree pruning and minor carpentry. The day was overcast, but the event still had a great turnout, approximately 70 participants of all ages.

Participants were thrilled by large, active Rainbow Trout.

Participants were treated to a free barbeque courtesy of Souris Wildlife. Thanks to Steve Cheverie, Paul Gallant, Justin MacKinnon and Fred Ward.

This year's event was another tremendous success, continuing the great tradition in our area.

Thanks to the Dept. of Environment, Energy, and Forestry for donating the fish, and to the public for continuing to support Souris Wildlife.
