Raising Rainbows Since 1941: The Red River Fish Hatchery's Living Legacy
On any summer morning in Red River, you will find anglers easing into the cold, clear river that runs right through town, casting for rainbow trout in the shade of the pines. Did you know that a good share of those fish began their lives just down the canyon, in a working hatchery that has been raising trout on this river since 1941? The Red River Fish Hatchery is living history in the truest sense: not a monument behind glass, but a heritage that still goes to work every single day.
