Great addition to the show and I am super excited to see live young trout and salmon up close at the show!
Metro East Anglers (MEA) are pleased to be participating in the 2014 Bowmanville Tackle Swap and Fishing Show. Please visit our booth to see the tank display of young Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon, learn more about Metro East Anglers and how you can support our hatchery work and get involved in other activities benefitting the Lake Ontario fishery. We’ll have gummy treats for the kids and some other takeaways as well...
About Metro East Anglers
Metro East Anglers is a registered Canadian charity, previously known as the Metro East Steelhead and Salmon Fishermen. MEA has long been involved in the betterment of the Lake Ontario trout and salmon fishery. From a humble beginning in 1995 at the Parkview Hatchery on the Rouge River, with the rearing of 3500 Rainbow Trout in an upwelling box, the club has grown to produce hundreds of thousands of Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and Atlantic Salmon yearly for stocking in our local watersheds. The club continues to support an increased membership of dedicated anglers and conservationists.
Since September 2006, when operations were moved from Parkview, MEA had operated the Ringwood Fish Culture Station where the main focus was the rearing and marking of the entire Ontario production of Chinook Salmon for Lake Ontario. During that 5 year partnership with OFAH and MNR, and help from sponsors and many volunteers, the hatchery raised over 2.5 million juvenile salmon for stocking. Our club also initiated the re-introduction of Coho Salmon production and stocking, back in 2007, and established four Chinook Salmon pen imprinting projects in the Greater Toronto area. Additionally, MEA continues to participate in a broad range of activities, ranging from the operation of the Milne Fishway in Markham and stream rehabilitation programs with Ontario Streams, to environmental, educational and ethical programs such as River Watch and Report a Poacher and assisting and working with schools. The major focus of the club's activities is the production of salmon and trout for the local watersheds, where natural reproduction is severely thwarted by urbanization and limited spawning opportunities.
Metro East Anglers is always interested in new members and actively seeking financial partners to keep our operations at full capacity at the Ringwood fish hatchery
