Salmon River Hatchery Presentation

Please join The Basil W. Woods Jr. Chapter of Trout Unlimited via Zoom Presentation November 16th with Environmental Educator Betsy Ukeritis and Fish Biologist Scott Prindle to learn more about the Salmon River Hatchery located in Altmar, NY. Built in 1980, the Salmon River Fish Hatchery specializes in raising chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and brown trout. The Hatchery was constructed to revive and enhance the Great Lakes fishery and now provides most of the fish for the multi-million-dollar Lake Ontario salmonid fishery. The Salmon River Fish Hatchery stocks approximately 3.5 million trout and salmon, and helps with local warm water fish stockings.
