ClassGraphic Ever wonder how Wyoming’s trout get their start? Join us for a guided tour of the Dan Speas Fish Hatchery, a cutting-edge facility tucked along the North Platte River at Bessemer Bend. Since 1959, Speas has raised fish from eggs to catchable size, using spring-fed water and innovative systems like vacuum-degassing towers to support healthy growth. Learn how biologists manage water chemistry, prevent disease, and balance conservation with recreation.
