Brook trout
will be returning to the Hatchery as eyed-up eggs from the Paint Bank Hatchery in Virginia. The eggs will be trucked north from that hatchery, which is about 5 hours south of Washington, D.C., in November 2007. We hope for an 80% survival rate to adulthood. The fish will eventually be released into local waters. The Hatchery has not had brook trout in a number of years, and we are very pleased to be adding them back in. We currently raise Atlantic salmon, brown, and rainbow trout.
