Caption from metadata: "Gail McGrath gets a close-up look at some of the 3,000 Coho fry that were released into Beaver Creek last Saturday as part of Burnaby's Environment Week celebrations at Deer Lake Park. The fry will leave the creek next May, as 20 gram smolts, heading to the Fraser River via Deer Lake, Burnaby Lake, and the Brunette River. Of the 3,000, one pair may return to the creek as spawning adults. "
