Decorah Fish HatcheryDecorah Fish Hatchery

Bring some quarters and feed the fish. Rainbow trout are raised in 24 raceways and three rubber lined earthen ponds at the Chuck Gipp Decorah Fish Hatchery. Easy access to the raceways make this a popular stop to see the fish of various sizes. A handful of feed purchased from dispensers brings fish swirling to the surface. About 130,000 catchable-size rainbow trout are raised each year. Decorah fish hatchery personnel are responsible for stocking 15 put-and-take streams in Allamakee, Howard, Mitchell and Winneshiek counties. The hatchery also stocks five seasonal urban lakes in Mason City, Sioux City, Spencer, Ames and Ankeny or Bondurant.

Located at The Decorah Fish Hatchery. Be sure to stop by this beautiful spot during your visit to the hatchery.
