The main building at the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery is where millions of young fish are raised every year for release into state waters.
RIVERDALE – It won’t be long before fisheries crews begin harvesting northern pike and walleye eggs for incubation at the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery. The hatchery, located below Garrison Dam, plays a vital role in maintaining and improving the quality of fisheries throughout North Dakota.
“It’s pretty unique for North Dakota, a state that doesn’t have a state hatchery,” said Rob Holm, project manager for the Garrison Dam and Valley City National Fish Hatcheries.
