CRESTON NATIONAL FISH HATCHERY
Description
Established in 1939, the Creston National Fish Hatchery (NFH) originally provided fingerling trout for stocking waters in Glacier National Park. Today, the hatchery has three main purposes: to provide trout for fishery management activities on the seven Tribal Reservations in Montana; stock fish for mitigation purposes under the Hungry Horse Dam Mitigation Program; and produce native bull trout eggs and fry for research projects at various State, Federal, and educational facilities through the Federal Broodstock Program. Creston NFH welcomes visitors to the hatchery for a close-up view of the fish production process. Visitors are invited to walk around the raceways where most of the adult trout are held, and visit the hatchery building where eggs and small fish are reared.
