Salisbury State Fish Hatchery

The Salisbury Fish Culture Station in Salisbury, VT is Vermont's broodstock station, responsible for producing approximately five million trout eggs annually for other state fish hatcheries. Located near Lake Dunmore, the facility uses light-controlled rooms to manipulate the spawning season, resulting in larger fish and improved survival rates when stocked. As the home to the biggest fish in the hatchery program, visitors can get up close and personal with some impressive monster fish.

Established in 1931, the Salisbury Fish Culture Station is a historic hatchery listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. It serves as Vermont's primary broodstock station, raising and spawning five different trout species for the state's lakes and streams. With its rich history and commitment to fish conservation, the facility plays a vital role in maintaining the health and diversity of Vermont's fish population.
