In Wyoming, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service manages two National Fish Hatcheries (NFH), Jackson National Fish Hatchery and Saratoga National Fish Hatchery. Jackson National Fish Hatchery raises the native Snake River strain of cutthroat trout and lake trout for distribution to various lakes and streams in Northwest Wyoming and Eastern Idaho; including the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and the Wind River Indian Reservation. Saratoga National Fish Hatchery primarily serves as a broodstock facility for lake trout and brown trout species and is involved in rearing the endangered Wyoming toad. Saratoga NFH is the primary broodstock facility for lake trout restoration in the Great Lakes Region of the United States. In 2010, NFHs stocked 2,044,800 fish in Wyoming to support recreational fishing and restore native fishes.

 

These activities produced $24,451,400 in economic benefits and 361,700 angler days of recreation. Wyoming NFHs stocked fish in both Wyoming and Idaho waters. These NFHs produced 5,222,200 eggs that were provided to hatcheries for grow-out in 13 states. Additionally, Wyoming NFHs produced and stocked Wyoming toad tadpoles, contributing to recovery efforts for that endangered species.
