Return to Jackson National Fish Hatchery

Projects and Research

Updated July 22, 2026

Jackson National Fish Hatchery is part of a regional effort to establish and maintain a refugia population of the endangered Kendall Warm Springs dace. Along with Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery, USFWS Wyoming Ecological Services, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Bridger-Teton National Forest we are helping to mitigate the decline of the very small and isolated dace. 

The hatchery also produces native cutthroat trout for federal and Tribal waters in Wyoming and Idaho. These trout help to restore fish populations, encourage sustainable fish populations and provide angling opportunities for recreational users like you. As a result of the Jackson National Fish Hatchery propagation program, economic benefits weigh-in at over 50,000 angler days of recreational fishing valued at over $5 million.
