Wild Rose Fish Hatchery

A short distance from our WI home is the Wild Rose fish Hatchery. It was built in the 1940's during the war. They are run by the state of Wisconsin and paid for with boat License money. The supply 100% of the fish WI lakes and rivers. The month we were there they were raising rainbow trout. We saw all 13 ponds from where the fish spawn to the final fish that goes into the river. One interesting fact...they actually strip the fishes ovaries to extract the eggs. And it doesn't hurt the fish. And we got to feed them:o)
