Huge Trout Grow-Op Busted!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I've been through the Salmon River hatchery in New York several times. It's an amazing operation.

They do, there are some Native run hatcheries that culture Sturgeon!

As for Muskies, when I was a student, I co-op'd at one of the first Musky Hatcheries in Ontario, if not Canada. Just outside of Lindsay Ontario. The fish were held in large outdoor ponds.

You could always tell the ones who were eating there brothers and sisters, because they were the largest! That is the main obstacle in raising Musky, they are cannibals, and once one musky gets to big, you can say by to all the other smaller ones!
same with walleye, they have to be stocked at a very small size. You can wake up one day and half are gone and the other half are really fat!

AHH! fellow fleming grads! I took aquaculture too, and worked at Al's walleye/muskie hatchery a few times as well. Those garbage bins full of 'eyes! I'll never forget that. Graduated somewhere around 96-98?

I was from the last class, before that Joke named Suzuki shut us down.. that was in 2003/04. I remember they shut us down, so they could get a grant from the suzuki foundation for a fleet of new computers, as well as a Wind Mill and a sun-dial.....:!:

I have heard that they have since re-opened the Aquaculture program. Not to sure though. When we graduated, we were told that there was going to be huge aquariums along the new section of the campus, that would hold the musky that we gew from fingerings to almost foot long pigs.

I would like to go back, and check out how things have progressed.

Yeah, i had heard something about that. Was a great experience, and i still know all the latin names for some stupid reason!! Did you ever find work in the field? I guided up north and worked at a few hatcheries for a few years but hated being broke. I ended up goin back to school for engineering :(
