MN-FISH Continues Legislator Tours of St. Paul Hatchery 129-year-old Facility Needs Replacement
ST. PAUL, MN—Yesterday, MN-FISH hosted its fourth Legislator Tour of the dilapidated MN DNR St. Paul Hatchery. We were joined by State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (64A).
As shared previously, we are pushing the state to replace this outdated facility with a state-of-the-art hatchery that not only meets the current and future fish stocking needs of several popular fisheries across the Twin Cities, but also offer educational tours opportunities for the public, especially school-aged children.
The St. Paul hatchery historically produces an average of 20 million walleye fry annually. This critical facility is also the primary hatchery for the production of musky.
We thank Rep. Her for bringing her passion for fishing and detailed questions of why this hatchery is so critical for meeting MN DNR’s fisheries management goals.
MN-FISH will continue to set up tours for legislators throughout the next several months to showcase in-person why this facility needs replacement and how it serve as an educational facility for the public.
Plans are underway for interested MN-FISH members to tour the facility later this spring – watch for details if you would like to join in.
