Amazing !!!!!
Leaving the hatchery building, you walk into the raceways that hold fingerling sized trout through adult sized with some reach more than 12 inches.
Leaving the visitors center you can walk across to the hatchery building where trout eggs are hatched into sac fry. You will may see fish at each stage of their life.
I have never heard of anything like this so I had to come see it while we were in burkesville. This is definitely worth stopping in for, you see all the stages of the fish. The exhibits inside are really neat and full of fun facts. And you can even fish in the river there, just make sure you have the proper gear and license. And the view of the dam is breathtaking.
Just behind the raceways, is the new Hatchery Creek that is stocked with trout every other day. Fishermen may catch and keep up to 5 trout when fishing in Upper Hatchery Creek. The Lower Hatchery Creek is for catch and release only.
Wolf Creek may have as many as 1.8 million fish on site at any one time.
An amazing place. Visit the hatchery and then explore the creek. Fish or not, you will have a wonderful experience walking along the creek.
Fun place to visit for folks of any age. Admission is free! Watch an 8 minute video that introduces the viewer to Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery.
