Rick

Rick is adopted by the New England Salt Water Fly Rodders. On April 27, Rick was captured in the Ipswich Mills Dam box trap and tagged. He was then transported upstream to Topsfield, where he was released into the Ipswich River at the stocking release site.

Rick was last seen by the stationary receiver at Site 8 in the Great Wenham Swamp on April 28, 2007 at 7:42 pm.

April 27: Rick was captured from the box trap near Site 2 (Ipswich Mills Dam). After being tagged, Rick took a ride upstream in a 100 gallon stock tank to the Salem Road bridge in Topsfield. We stocked Rick and other Ipswich native fish to the Ipswich River at the Stocking Site.

April 28, 2:32 pm: Rick spends his first night out of range of the receivers, and most of the morning the following day, as well. he arrives to the Site 8 receiver  (in the Great Wenham Swamp) in the afternoon.

April 28, 7:42 pm: Rick spends the day going in and out of range of the receiver at Site 8, moving out of range at 7:42. We have not been able to relocate Rick since he entered Great Wenham Swamp. We have found other tagged fish in Bunker Meadows and he may be in that pond, but in an area we have not fully searched.
