Today was my first day as a casual part-time custodian at the Capilano River Hatchery. I have never been so excited to wipe toilets and mop floors! The staff there are all very pleasant and a few of the guys are certified fishaholics like myself. Lunch break was speckled with our smartphone photos of recent catches and freshly tied flies and jigs.
On a sadder note, I learned that one of the hatchery's longstanding brood fisherman, Eric Carlisle passed away. I did not know Eric well but I had bumped into him a few times fishing the cable pool. He was very friendly and we chatted about fishing for brood stock and the 2014 rockslide on the Seymour River. I also learned that Mr. Carlisle has quite a reputable history as a conservationist and author. His book was in the lunchroom and will be my next read. RIP Eric Carlisle and thank you.
