Trout Life Cycle

It’s trout spawning time! Each November, our hatchery staff start to cultivate the next generation of trout that will eventually get stocked into lakes and ponds throughout the state. Staff start by gently squeezing a female trout to release her eggs. Fish are spawned at three years old and weigh 2–5 lbs. Each female can produce 1,000–3,500 eggs per pound of body weight! After eggs are taken from the female, milt from the male fish is squeezed into the same bowl as the eggs. The fish are handled
