kemo99 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 We have a Research License that allows us to fish on Rat Creek for the purpose of collecting fin clips for DNA analysis. The permit is valid from now until the end of August and allows us to fish in this closed area without an AEP biologist present. We have a few priority spots that need to be sampled. We will provide scale envelopes to save the fin clip, as well as a data sheet, some tools and a map. We must inform the conservation officers 7 days in advance to provide details of where we are angling. Jim and I will take care of the contacts, and will coordinate volunteer anglers. Groups of 2-3 are probably ideal. Fuel cards will be provided. Let me know if you are interested and which days are best. Reply to this post in the forum to help find fishing buddies to go on a trip.

Dean Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I would be pleased to participate. However, I don't have a vehicle appropriate for backcountry roads. Happy to partner if anyone is looking for a partner. Have good flexibility at present apart from last week of July and August 3rd.

msedmonton Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I'd be happy to go if there are others interested too. If it's resource roads my vehicle can handle things. I have some flexibility for weekdays except for the weeks of July 25, August 1 & August 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplabonte Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hello Ken I can be available from July 17 to August 5 for Rat creek. Is the Rat creek just day trips or overnight camping and I am available for more assistance on the little smokey grayling survey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemo99 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Rat creek could done as a camping trip, but more likely day trips. I hope to get an idea of the timing for little smoky trip some time next week. We’ll need several people for that one. Rat creek trips can be done with as few as 2 people.

Stuart Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Do we have any updates on this project? It sounds very interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemo99 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Due to environmental conditions (fire, flood) we were unable to complete the project this year. The project will resume in 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
