Alchesay-Williams Creek National
Fish Hatchery Complex |
 |
Located on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in eastern Arizona, Alchesay and Williams Creek National Fish Hatchery Complex raises five species of trout for stocking in Indian waters, in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
The Williams Creek unit is known for its leading role in the recovery of the threatened Apache trout, a rare trout native only to Arizona.
The Williams Creek Unit was established in the mid-1930s with funds
provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a trout-producing station.
The Alchesay Unit, established in 1959, also raises trout for Indian
reservations. Both hatchery units operate in cooperation between the
White Mountain Apache Tribe and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
