Coho fry released in Shell Creek
On Saturday, April 12th, Megan Moran from Sound Salmon Solutions and Joe Scordino released several thousand Coho fry with the help of volunteers and local residents. These “baby” salmon were released in Yost Park near Olympic Avenue and near Holy Rosary parish in Edmonds.
It was great fun.
