One of 13 inland trout hatcheries operated by the California Department of Fish and Game. The Moccasin Creek Trout Hatchery raises trout for stocking in high mountain lakes, streams, creeks and local reservoirs. Eggs for these fish are acquired from “brood stock” fish and reared until mature enough to be released into the wild. Come and see how the trout rearing process takes place.
