A drive around rural Saskatchewan - Saskatoon to Southey, Qu'Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park
Ok, not totally fish related, but as I was driving around Saskatchewan to visit any aquarium stores I could find (not a lot), I took some nice photos. I thought I'd share them here. You will note a bit of forest fire haze in the first number of photos; it dissipated over the several days I was in Saskatchewan.

The provincial fish hatchery (for species of trout, walleye, etc.) was worth a visit.

A shout out to Neil and Zac at the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery. Thanks for the excellent tour of the facility. I'll see what I can do about sourcing some platinum Japanese rice fish for you
