On March 15th, 2013 room 22 and the other fifth graders went to a steelhead hatchery on Letz Creek just outside of the town of Lorane.
My group got to see steelhead fish have eggs and...on the gross side got to see male steelhead produce "milt. The entire fifth grade took two buses and we arrived around 10:00AM. We left around 11:30 AM. A man named "Doogie" was our guide. Some kids in our class took a couple of eggs off of the ground and ate them. We saw the "circulars" and the hatchery pond that had something like 40,000 baby fish in it. We saw the people take the steelhead out of the river to remove the eggs and milt.
It was sunny and beautiful. The best part was when we were going to the hatchery, we had to go up a mountain and then down the other side.
