Some of the fish species that Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery are rearing include:
- brown trout
- burbot
- chinook salmon
- cutthroat trout
- northern pike
- paddlefish
- pallid sturgeon
- rainbow trout
- shovelnose sturgeon
- walleye
- yellow perch
Northern pike spawning begins in mid-April, followed by walleye and smallmouth bass. Sturgeon are spawned in late June. Coldwater species, trout and salmon, are at the station year-round. If you visit the station in October, you will be able to witness the annual migration of chinook salmon up a ‘fish ladder’ and watch as eggs are collected from these awesome fish.
