Trout Eggs at Albert Powell

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Albert Powell Hatchery

Albert Powell received 300,000 rainbow trout eggs today from Erwin National Fish hatchery in Tennessee. These trout will be raised at the Albert Powell Hatchery for spring 2025 stocking.

Eggs are then given an iodine bath to disinfect them.

Finally, eggs are put into trays and placed in the incubator.
