The Lake Huron Fishing Club (LHFC) is about to celebrate the Port Elgin Fish Hatchery’s 40th Anniversary with an Open House.
The Lake Huron Fishing Club is dedicated to ensuring future generations will have quality fishing opportunities. It operates two fish hatcheries – Port Elgin and Kincardine, hosts the Classic Chantry Salmon Derby, initiates and supervises school hatchery projects, partners with Bruce Power to financially support several conservation projects, provides stream enhancements and environmental improvements, and assists government agencies on assessments.

Everyone is invited to drop by for a free hamburger/hot dog and drink from 10AM to 2PM, and to learn more about the conservation work that the Lake Huron Fishing Club to uphold the fishery stocks in Lake Huron.
The work of the LHFC relies on thousands of volunteer hours to operate the Kincardine Hatchery, the Port Elgin Hatchery, the School Hatchery Program, and the Chinook Salmon Derby. For more information, visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2921053651465449/
