Bob Florean of the Manitoulin Area Stewardship Council (MASC) explains to the students of Lakeview School and Assiginack Public School the lifecycle of a brook trout eyed egg, which were delicately placed by the students in ‘Scotty boxes’ only a short time earlier. The boxes, each containing 1,000 eggs, were placed in Norton’s Creek, a tributary of Lake Manitou, where they will eventually hatch, repopulating the stream and lake with brook trout. The annual event is an initiative of Manitoulin Streams.
