The group heard of the opportunity to volunteer for spawning in April after talking to hatchery staff at the Trout Unlimited Fishing Expo in Ashland, Wis. They kept true to their word and contacted us in September for a time to come and volunteer. After getting used to things, the volunteers were able to spawn both male and female fish, rinse eggs and spawn check another group of fish. With their assistance, we were able to sort and spawn our lake trout much faster. One woman returned to help with coaster brook trout spawning in November. (I guess we didn?t scare them off after all!) We hope work with the ?Reel Women? again next year.
