Crossroads at Big Creek: Saturday Science - Pike
SATURDAY - APRIL 02, 2022 / 2PM-3PM
For the past several years, northern pike have begun swimming up Big Creek around April Fools Day. But we would April Fools if we didn’t realize that fish spawn is unpredictable. After a short lab activity about fish reproduction, the group will hike to Big Creek to search for pike—big, but remarkably elusive fish. We might see them. Or not. Fun for the whole family. Meet at the Collins Lecture Center. Free and open to the public.
