Wild Rose Fall Fish Migration Open House 

Description

Join us at an open house event at the Wild Rose Fish Hatchery Education Center in Wild Rose on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This free event will allow attendees to learn about many popular gamefish species and celebrate the annual fall salmon migration. There will be games and educational activities for guests of all ages, including a learn-to-cast station, fish identification activities and the chance to “swim” upriver like salmon on their migratory journey to spawning areas. 

Other activities will include fish-printing on tote bags, a fly-tying workshop, fly casting demonstrations, making Kool-Aid clay fish as well as self-guided tours of the original 1908 hatchery and guided tours of the modern operation. 

The Wild Rose fish hatchery is a cool and cold-water hatchery, raising steelhead, brown trout, coho and Chinook salmon, Great Lakes spotted musky, walleye and lake sturgeon.
