After the eggs hatch, we will release the fry into the Necanicum River. The smolt will eventually head to the ocean and complete the cycle of life. Steelhead FTW. We support the "Eggs to Fry" program 1000%!06 Feb 2026 23:48 +0000at://did:plc:4ug4ppo5p3ujclledjx5yptp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mea3r2optc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/seasidelibrary.bsky.social/post/3mdqcxh6xxk22We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Catharine O’Hara.
