    Went to a DNR fish hatchery in Oden Michigan. They raised brown and rainbow trout.

    Here is another **** of them after they hatch

    It was pretty cool seeing tax dollars actually used to help sportsman.

    We have a big fish hatchery here in the eastern panhandle of WV. They stock a lot of the local creeks with trout.

    A friend from school is a biologist at the hatchery.. I asked him 1 day what he actually does there. He was like... I basically make them sick and then try to cure them...

    That's awesome Christine. They stuck by truck here.. One of the sections of the creek they stock here they will park on the one lane bridge get on top of the truck with a big net and just throw them in.
