A Great Stop with Kids
Roaring Judy fish hatchery spawns Kokanee salmon, rainbow and Snake
River native trout. The Kokanee run naturally from Blue Mesa reservoir
upstream to the hatchery following the Gunnison and East Rivers. The
spawning salmon are caught at the hatchery, where the eggs are taken
from the females and fertilized. Once they start feeding, an average of
two million young Kokanee are released each year. This a
great place to stop and see how a high altitude fish hatchery operates-
one may even get to see them feed the fish! Address:
