Hatchery Update
I had the opportunity to get a tour of the Nashua fish hatchery today. I saw the 75,000 + or - Salmonoids that will be stocked in our NH lakes next spring.
According to the F&G director in charge of the facility, they are hoping and his goal is that stock size will be 6-8 smolt per pound. This number is based on how they have grown thus far which is fantastic! We have not seen salmon stocked that large in a number of years!
While we still have a few years to go for a complete turn around in missing age classes, this would certainly be a great start! So keep your fingers crossed that the hatchery director’s goal holds true.
