Creston National Fish Hatchery currently raises three strains of rainbow trout; Eagle Lake, Arlee, and Erwin. We also rear one strain of westslope cutthroat trout; Montana MO12. Annually Creston stocks approximately 600,000 rainbow and 200,000 westslope cutthroat trout, all within the State of Montana.
Currently, the hatchery produces trout and trout eggs to fill Tribal, State, and Federal fish needs across Montana. These fish help to replenish and encourage sustainable trout populations and provide angling opportunities for recreational users like you.
