If you have come to this website because you have just read about the study in the Fernie Fix, welcome! Please continue to browse around the site and learn about how you can take part in the research program simply by going fishing on the Elk River!
Familiarize yourself by first reading the IMPORTANT POINTS under the PARTICIPATION menu. You will also need a DATA SHEET and a MAP of the HABITAT BLOCK that you are going to fish. Print them off here and start logging in your catch data. Read more...
Remember, in order to submit your catch, you must first login and get setup as a user by creating a username for yourself. This is how you can build your own data set of your entire catch throughout the summer.
Remember, ALL the fish you catch are important to the study, and if any fish you catch is not tagged, make sure and feel its belly to see if its fin was clipped. You will feel the scarred bump. All fish that were tagged last summer also had the LEFT PELVIC FIN clipped. Thanks for taking part!
Good Luck!
