Small fry

110511-Salmon.jpg
Paul Carroll takes a family portrait before releasing some of the 25,000 coho salmon fry that were put into Stoney Creek during Saturday's Great Salmon Send Off. The coho, from the Kanaka Creek hatchery, will spend the next year in the creek before swimming out to the Fraser and eventually the ocean. They will return to spawn in 2.5 years.
