New manager takes over at Trout Hatchery T R E V O R C R AW L E Y
The Kootenay Trout Hatchery has a new leader at the helm, however, it is a familiar face to existing staff and the community. Owen Schoenberg-
er, who has been at the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. facility out in Bull River since 2004, was recently promoted to take over managerial and operational duties.
The Kootenay Trout Hatchery is responsible for stocking 150 lakes in the East and West Kootenay regions with species such as Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat trout, Eastern
Brook Trout, Kokanee Salmon and White Sturgeon. As far as he’s concerned, it’ll be business as usual. “I don’t see the operations changing a
whole lot here,” he said. “I don’t see me having a huge influence in the change of operations. Our basic day-to-day stuff will continue on being the same.” There are a few facil-
ity changes as fish runways in the ‘pond building’, as well as troughs in another area, have been replaced with 5-foot circular tanks. “We have a new con-
struction project freshly completed, so it’s going to be getting the entire staff comfortable with using that and looking forward using all that new equipment,” Schoenberger added. The facility and staff out at KTH accommodates adult holding, spawning and juvenile rearing of various fish species, which are also shipped off to other FFSBC sites in Clearwater and Summerland for distribution up in the northern regions and other parts of the B.C. Interior.
