Lynden Christian Salmon Hatchery
Senior Biology Class Project
The Lynden Christian Fish Hatchery is
run by Mr. Kredit's Sr. Biology Class. It has been running for 22 years
(as of 2001) and has helped replenish the salmon population of the
northwest.
 The
main fish this hatchery raises are Coho Salmon, or
Oncorhynchus kisutch.
The fish are obtained by the class as eggs from the Kendall Creek
Hatchery which is part of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. They are
then brought to the Lynden Christian hatchery where they are hatched and
fed for two months before they are released into the Fishtrap Creek. The
students take great pride in what they do and are all very knowledgeable
in the area of salmon biology. This has been a meaningful part of the
Sr. Biology class because every student wants to make a difference in
the creation God has endowed to us. We are His stewards.

The money was designated for Lynden Christian's hatchery and stream restoration work in this area. The Anglers Association works to promote and preserve and sports fisheries in the Northwest.
