NEWS

We currently have 90,000 healthy fish at the hatchery.

Check out the Life Cycle Picture Board at the hatchery, created by Hassie Taylor.

CAF Board is looking for member involvement in the following events so far in 2023:

Curry County Fair, and parade held in late July.

Curry County Fair: We have been asked by the Curry County Fair Board to be in charge of the admission gates during the Curry County Fair. Joe Janowitz brought up the idea of having a
C.A.F. booth at the fair. We would offer hats, tee shirts, and information. Having a booth at
the fair could help bring awareness of what we do to a wider range of people

Salmon Derby to be held in early August.

Membership appreciation dinner that takes
place in mid-December.

Check "Events" for other oportunities.

Don’t forget to save your McKay receipts. It is an easy way to add money to feed our babies. You can turn the receipts in at the hatchery, Jots, or The Indian Creek Café. Each location has a donation jar.

Ray’s Market Receipts-We need more members to enroll in the All Access Program or they will discontinue our donations. Members can enroll at the store.

Here two new ways to help the hatchery through donations.

Fish ponding, raceway maintenance, and feeding schedules are underway. If you wish to

April is the month for “Reel Fish Days” at Arizona Pond fishing with third grade children
from all schools in Curry County, running April 18, 20, and 25, 2023.

Resource Day is going to take place May 4,2023, right here at the C.A.F. Indian Creek Fish
Hatchery. This event is put on by the OSU Extension Service and Curry County 4-H.
Please sign up with Mary Duncan to help out at this fun event involving all of Curry County’s fifth graders. The kid’s get to hand feed the fish in the raceways, and go on tours of the facility.

The Life Cycle Picture Board, created by Hassie Taylor, will be used to explain the process of
spawning and return of our 90 thousand Chinook Salmon. There will be other agency specialists on hand to deliver hands on lessons on rocks, flora and fauna. The kids get tested
on their newly gained knowledge, answering questions from the presenters. This is a half
