The largest volunteer run hatchery in the province (there are 53 hatcheries) - we are now 20 years old!

​

Monies from Fishing licenses are collect by the MNRF and then distributed by OFAH Community Hatchery Program to all 53 volunteer Hatcheries.

​

This money goes to cover a portion of our total operational costs. 

We receive fingerlings and raise them to stocking size to increase their survival success rate.  

​

Last year we stocked the lakes with 34000 fish.  This is 40% of the stocking done in Haliburton county.

​

We raise our famous HALIBURTON GOLD from egg collection in the wild.  In the wild - 1 to 2 per 1000 eggs survive to 8 inches due to natural predators ie crayfish etc.  

​

In the Hatchery we are able to have 650/1000 survive to 8 inches and are then returned to the lakes.
