This page is about the fish hatcheries located on the Green River in Wyoming. Although there is only one, this is some valuable information that you might want to know. The point of having fish hatcheries is to make sure fish populations flourish. The hatcheries raise the fish until they are fairly big. Then, the fish are "planted" into rivers and lakes.
Pictured below on the left is a Brook Trout, it is one of many types of fish raised.
