Jackson National Fish Hatchery
Mountain-Prairie Region

Jackson - Production

To meet the trout production demands, the hatchery facilities include 21 raceways, 14 rectangular tanks, and 16 circular tanks that are fed by five wells and a series of springs. Each year, Jackson National Fish Hatchery produces over 1 million eggs and 400,000 trout. Additionally, over 15 different water areas are stocked.

As a result of the Jackson National Fish Hatchery propagation and broodstock program, economic benefits weigh-in at over 40,000 angler days of recreational fishing valued at over $4 million.

Currently, the hatchery produces trout to fill needs for Federal, State, and Tribal waters in Wyoming and Idaho. These trout help to replenish and encourage sustainable fish populations and provide angling opportunities for recreational users like you.
